Putting this into practice in Australia

Organise evidence around the activities in your Australian food business. Standard 3.2.2A's evidence tool applies to category one businesses; the relevant work includes receiving, storing, processing, displaying and transporting food, plus cleaning and sanitising. Match the records to your business category and state or territory requirements.

FSANZ: evidence tool and prescribed activities

Follow a supplier substitution through recipes, kitchen labels and customer information. Preserve the reviewed chart version that was current when the dish was served.
Assess cross-contact and staff communication separately. A published ingredient chart does not establish that food is free from traces of an allergen.

What it does

Australian product options: For Pro kitchen labels, record individual cereals and tree nuts, including pine nut, alongside the other Australian allergen options.
A chart for Australian customers: Choose from 21 declaration options, including nine individual tree nuts. Publish a reviewed version and download its customer PDF. Historical charts keep the declarations originally published.
Keep the source information: Keep supplier specifications and current recipe information available to staff. Review changes before updating customer-facing information.
Menu board: Mark a dish sold out or running low for today and every phone, the web and the kitchen tablet show the same board. Items come from the allergen matrix, so nothing is typed twice, and a new day starts clean.
Supplier changes and dish review: Save supplier specifications and link ingredients or dishes. See dishes affected by a specification change, record each review and retain the earlier evidence. Published allergen information changes only through the separate matrix review workflow. Available on web and mobile with an internet connection.

How it works

Check ingredients
Review recipes and supplier labels, including substitutions and processing aids.
Review cross-contact
Assess preparation and storage practices. A may-contain statement is not a substitute for controls.
Check customer declarations
Use the required Australian names and provide declarations with the food or on request where food is not required to bear a label.

Know what each feature covers

The menu matrix records ingredient allergens for food not required to bear a retail label. Review cross-contact separately and keep supplier specifications current. Internal kitchen labels and packaged retail labels serve different purposes.
