Food Safety Management Statement Unaccredited Egg Producer NOTE: This template has been designed for use by producers producing fewer than 20 dozen eggs per week (equivalent to 50 egg laying birds) and wish to sell/supply eggs to egg businesses, food businesses, markets, or by way of wholesale. If you produce more than 20 dozen eggs per week, please contact the Food Safety Management Officer below This template is for you to document your business details and shell egg program and is provided as a guide to assist you. Your Food Safety Management Statement should form part of your overall egg production operation. There is no need to duplicate systems and records that you already have in place, as long as they are recording the required information. If asked by an authorised officer, you must be able to produce evidence that you are complying with the standard. You do not need to complete this statement if you have a recognised industry and commercial quality assurance program operating in your business. It is recommended you review this statement either annually or if your business details or activities change. Note: In some local government areas there are planning and by-law restrictions on the keeping of chickens and operating a primary produce business. Notification of your operation to Biosecurity Tasmania does not exempt you from these legal requirements. You should therefore seek advice from your local Council on what planning, environmental and other local government restrictions (if any) apply to your egg production activity.
