Active surveillance category 10 percent of shipments of designated active surveillance foods, from every supplying country, are inspected. These products are released upon sampling. The test results of active surveillance foods are analysed by FSANZ to determine the appropriate category classification for the foods.
Random surveillance category 5 percent of all consignments of foods not included in the risk or active categories are inspected. These products are released upon sampling. Neither AQIS nor the importer has the ability to predict which shipment or which foods will be selected for inspection.
A holding order can be issued where an active or random surveillance food does not comply with the standards. A holding order against a foreign supplier effectively raises the inspection category of the food to ‘risk’ status. This means that all future shipments of that food from the offending supplier are automatically detained and held until compliance with Australia’s requirements is confirmed. After five clear inspections, the food reverts to its prior category.
