AFSA and the AIEH Food Safety Standard of Practice assists EHPs and agencies by providing:

  • Policies and technical guidance
  • A food safety assessment tool
  • A method for establishing assessment frequency
AFSA also benefits food business operators as it demystifies the food safety assessment process by educating operators of the minumum acceptable standards which food handling activities are assessed.

The Proprietor's Guide, included with the Standard of Practice, is a useful document for introducing operators to AFSA.
