Kempsey Shire Council
There are new food safety requirements for berry, leafy vegetable and melon growers in the Kempsey Shire LGA.
Anyone growing berries, leafy vegetables or melons for sale in NSW needs to meet new on-farm requirements and provide their details to the NSW Food Authority.
Small-scale growers selling direct to the public – for example at markets, at the farm gate, or through direct home delivery – also need to notify Kempsey Shire Council of their business details.
The new rules focus on key food safety risks, including contamination of produce from soil, water, fertilisers and animals, and worker hygiene.
