Mō tō mātou Rōpū - About the Team
New Zealand food businesses are diverse - not only in what they make or do and how they make or do it - but also in the value they derive from their food. Food safety regulation is changing, not just in New Zealand but around the world. It is increasingly less about setting rigid rules, and more about providing systems and services that enable businesses to find their own ways to meet easy to understand food safety and suitability outcomes.
The Food Risk Management directorate of New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) is responsible for setting standards for food production, processing, importing and exporting; identifying emerging food safety risks; and delivering an agile and evolving food compliance and response system.
The work we do strongly contributes to our country's public health, economic, and wellbeing outcomes. We ensure that food sold in New Zealand is safe and suitable, consumers globally can trust food produced in New Zealand and make informed choices, food businesses can thrive and innovate within a fit-for-purpose regulatory framework, and overseas governments can have a high level of confidence and trust in our export assurances.
Mō te Manatū Ahu Matua - About MPI
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) partners with New Zealand's food and fibre sector to be the world's most sustainable provider of high-value food and primary products.
