    食品伙伴网讯  据新西兰初级产业部（MPI）消息，2月20日新西兰初级产业部发布通知，提醒本国食品相关单位按照最新食品安全法规定，在3月31日之前完成注册。

 

    据了解，新西兰食品安全新法已于去年生效，目前新西兰国内已经有超过5000家食品单位已按照新法完成了注册。

 

    初级产业部食品饮料主管金士顿（Sally Johnston）表示，新法采取风险预防的手段来改善食品安全状况。

 

    新企业可直接履行新法，现有企业需要在过渡期后按照新法生产经营。其他还需要在3月31日之前注册的单位包括提供食品的早教中心，坚果、籽实类或咖啡豆的生产商，生产免疫力低下人群（如婴儿或老人）食品、即食沙拉、冷藏酱汁、涂抹酱、蘸酱、汤的食品企业。

    The deadline for some businesses to register under the new Food Act is coming up. Food businesses, including restaurants and cafes with an alcohol licence, need to apply by 31 March.

 

    Over 5,000 food businesses across the country are already registered under the new law, which came into effect last year.

 

    Sally Johnston, Manager Food and Beverage at MPI, says the new law aims to improve food safety by moving to a risk-based approach.

 

    “It sets different rules for different businesses depending on what they do, and focuses on what's most important for making sure food is safe.”
