Food safety in New Zealand

How the NZ food safety system works

In New Zealand, every food business operating under the Food Act 2014 must follow a Food Control Plan (FCP) to ensure food is safe to eat. These plans are based on internationally recognised HACCP principles and verified by local councils under guidance from the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).

  • Standards & templates: MPI sets the rules and provides FCP templates.
  • Registration: Businesses usually register with their local council.
  • Verification: Councils (or appointed verifiers) check FCP records and practices.

Stop wasting time, paper, and money. EasyOps provides digital tools that help hospitality teams record, monitor, and review their FCP records - supporting a more efficient operation.

Note: This is a general overview. Always refer to MPI and your local council for the latest official requirements.

Disclaimer: EasyOps is an independent software provider and is not affiliated with or endorsed by MPI or any council. Templates are guidance aids and should be reviewed against your registered FCP and council verification requirements.
