Guide to the Victorian Food Act changes
The Food Act 1984 regulates the sale of food for human consumption in Victoria.
From 1 July 2010, major changes to the Act apply to Victoria’s 45,000 food businesses and community groups that conduct one or two day food events for fundraising or charitable purposes.
More information on the changes to Victoria's Food Act is available at Guide to the Food Act changes.
The national Food Standards Code continues to apply and is not affected by changes to the Act.
