As shellfish are considered a high risk food, all shellfish farmers in New South Wales are required to hold and maintain a sampler licence at all times. This course has been put together by the NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) Food Authority, the University of Tasmania to train personnel involved in the production, harvesting and treatment of shellfish to ensure they are committed to producing shellfish in accordance with the NSW Shellfish Program.
This includes maintaining consistency and currency in food safety programs that are compliant with the requirements of the various Acts, Regulations, codes and policies within the various NSW Food Authority legislative frameworks.
At the end of this training, you will receive a Certificate of Attendance and an approved Sampler Licence Number
