When referring to food
safety in Australian food
businesses, the ownership
is placed solely on the
business itself. It must
ensure that all food
handled and prepared in
the business is safe to eat.
In order to help the food
business fulfil this
obligation, most are
required to employ a
trained Food Safety
Supervisor.
For those who wish to gain
a basic understanding of
everyday food safety,
typically so they can
handle food safely in a
commercial environment,

way for anyone to obtain a
fundamental understanding

Campylobacter,
and
Enterohaemorrhagic
Escherichia coli are among
the most common foodborne
pathogens that affect millions
of people annually –
sometimes with severe and
fatal outcomes. Symptoms
are fever, headache, nausea,
vomiting, abdominal pain and
diarrhoea.
Listeria infection leads to
unplanned abortions in
pregnant women or death
of newborn babies.
Although disease
occurrence is relatively
low, listeria’s severe and
sometimes fatal health
consequences, particularly
among infants, children
and the elderly, count them
among the most serious
foodborne infections.
Listeria is found in
unpasteurised dairy
products and various
ready-to-eat foods and can
grow at refrigeration temp.
