When starting a food business at home, a food truck or taking a stall at a market, the amount of food safety requirements can seem overwhelming for a small business. In addition, there are certain pitfalls associated with operating a food business from home which must be considered.
To assist these types of businesses we have produced a guide to food law for small producers and a factsheet for those operating a business from home. If this is the sort of business you are thinking of starting, please read these publications:
