Fixed Premises Food Licence:

When Is It Required?

In most cases, any fixed premises food business that adds value to an existing single food product and then sells that product requires food business licencing.

If your business operation includes any of the following, you will need to be licenced:

  • Adding ingredients and combining single food products
  • Mixing or blending ingredients
  • Cutting or slicing produce and ingredients
  • Heating, cooking, smoking or barbecuing
  • Cooling, refrigerating or freezing products
  • Dehydrating ingredients
  • Juicing
