2. Flies & The Law Australian Legal Requirements
• Food Hygiene Regulations require that food is wholesome & safe &
has not been contaminated by flying insect pests. All food preparation
and retail premises should be protected against flies.
• Australian Food Standards Code is administered by
Food Standards Australia NZ
• Standard 3 of the Commonwealth Food Standard Codes deals with
the processing of food, the condition of premises and equipment and
food handling.

3. Flies & The Law Australian Legal Requirements
• Standard 3.1.1, Division 2, section (4) (d) holds that
• “food is not suitable if it….contains a biological…agent…that is foreign
to the nature of food”. In addition to requiring that no pests find their
way into food, this standard is often interpreted to encourage the use
of glue board – not electronic – UV Fly Units.
• The preference for glue board units is derived from concerns that fly
parts will be “exploded” on impact with the electronic grid.
• It is strongly advised, and a requirement of many health inspectors,
that glue board units be used in all food preparation and handling
areas.

4. What is HACCP?
• HACCAP – Hazard, Analysis, Critical Control Point
• A Food Safety Program
• To help eliminate hazards at critical stages of production
EG: Implementing a Pest Control Policy or a Personal Hygiene Policy
• Outside of the UK and EU, whilst HACCP is not regulatory, it is still the
accepted standard for business involved in the food market.
