Any food provided by St Joseph's School is safe to eat. We meet food safety guidelines by:
St Joseph's School may provide food as part of a lesson, as treats, or on special occasions. If schools sell food they may also be required to register as a national programme or to register a food control plan under the Food Act 2014.
Food sold as part of fundraising activities has different registration requirements: pre-packaged shelf-stable food does not require registration (e.g. confectionery sales); and reheated, chilled, frozen, and repackaged food, or food prepared or cooked at home or at the school (e.g. for bake sales or sausage sizzles) can be sold up to twenty times per year without registration.
The calculation of "twenty times per year" relates to the organising body of the activity. If some fundraising activities are organised centrally by the school and others are organised by individuals or groups, then each organising body can fundraise without registration up to twenty times. If an organising body sells food as part of a fundraising activity more than twenty times a year, they need to register under a food control plan or a national programme, depending on the type of food sold.
The release history is a record of changes made to a SchoolDocs Core topic as the result of an internal or scheduled review. The date indicates when a change was made. If you have a customised topic, it may not have received the updates described. Release history links are kept for five years, then archived.
fundraising activities, we follow food and safety guidelines and register under the Food Act if required.
