The Health Protection Service's Food Safety and Compliance program surveys and analyses a large variety of foods available in the ACT.
These food surveys are a joint activity between the HPS Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) and the scientists and technicians of the ACT Government Analytical Laboratory Microbiology and Food Chemistry Units.
Food survey reports
Environmental Health Officers collect survey samples, inspect food premises and as required, initiate appropriate action when undesirable results are obtained while the scientists and technicians are responsible for the appropriate analysis of the food samples.
Subjects for the annual food surveys are selected to determine the overall safety of ACT foods, with an emphasis on the sampling and analysis of locally produced foods. Current public health and safety issues also impact on the direction of surveys.
The food survey reports are grouped by the year in which they were completed, please select your area of interest from the menu below.
