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

Additionally, every council area has different requirements. But Food Agent Australia’s team of experts specialise in all council regions and based on our findings at your compliance audit along with the information you provide, we can determine the specific requirements to secure your food business licence.
