  • Along with that, provide information about where the food processing will occur and where all the food equipment is stored.
  • If the businesses which will operate at festivals, fairs, or markets need to submit the temporary food business notification to the council.
According to Food Safety Standards, ‘When the food is not suitable?’
  • The food is damaged, perished, or deteriorated which affects its use
  • Presence of damaged or perished substance in the food which does not make it safe for consumption.
  • The food is made from diseased animals or it has been declared not safe for consumption due to some reason.

The inspection is carried out from the garaging location from where the business is operating from.
