These surveys may provide information on compliance with the Code at point of sale, hazards in seafood and in some instances insights into hazards that may commonly be associated with particular foods. In relation to any public health and safety impact arising from food/hazard combinations, this would need to be established through epidemiological investigations.

In 2000, the OzFoodNet project was established in Australia as a collaborative project between the Commonwealth and States and Territories to enhance the surveillance of food-borne diseases and to provide a means for facilitating the national investigation of and determine the causes of food-borne illness. It is anticipated that as a result of these activities and over time, Australia will have access to improved information about the sources of food-borne illness.

3.3.4 Enforcement of process standards for imported food

Consumers need to have confidence that the food they consume is safe, irrespective of its source. Mandatory national food standards in the Code apply to both domestically produced and imported foods. However, the mechanisms used to determine that food is safe may differ between domestic and imported foods.

For imported foods, the monitoring system aims to achieve the same outcome i.e. that only safe and suitable food is sold on the Australian market. The monitoring of imported foods often examines the end point of production and tests against agreed microbiological or chemical residual limits in the Code.

For example, instead of being able to check that specified processing requirements were applied during the production and processing of food, product safety is determined by testing, for example, for coagulase-positive staphylococci, salmonella, E. coli or histamine etc.

End point testing can have limitations in terms of being able to reliably ensure safe food outcomes. Therefore, FSANZ and AQIS, in conjunction with the States and Territories, have begun to examine systems that can more reliably monitor the safety of imported foods. It is expected that the Implementation Sub-Committee of the Food Regulation Standing Committee will consider the outcome of this work in 2005.
