Food safety law reform in Victoria
The Food Amendment (Regulation Reform) Act 2009 will amend the Food
Act 1984 to give Victoria a better system for regulating the safety of

the compliance costs for businesses (including community groups that
sell food) by allowing regulation to be better matched to the level of
food safety risk.
