Business Overview:
Club Medellin is a small bar and grill providing contemporary South American cuisine,
cocktails and live entertainment
It is situated in the recently developed Mariner Cove District on the Gosford waterfront
Club Medellin holds an On Premises Licence and maintains approximately 30 employees
The business can seat up to 80 inside and 30 outside
There is one Al A Carte outlet and one functions kitchen
Food outlets:
Club Medellin is dedicated to serving high quality, safe food to their customers. In an
effort to maintain this standard of excellence this Food Safety Program has been developed.
The purpose of the Food Safety Program is to minimise the risk of harm caused by
spoiled food. This can be achieved through set procedures that are constantly updated to reflect
changes in legislation, food preparation techniques and changes in premises and suppliers.
However, procedures are not enough. Staff members from each department have volunteered
to be a part of the committee and help with the training of other staff members to ensure
compliance is met.
There are two outlets within the business, the restaurant and the functions centre. This
program covers these two outlets and has usable templates that can be modified to suit any
additional outlets that are created, or any changes to the current ones.

The premises and food handling equipment should be designed, constructed and maintained in a way that will
reduce the chance of food becoming contaminated.
Poorly maintained or damaged equipment and buildings may result in possible physical, chemical and biological
contamination of food.
• A system to regularly review condition of building structure and equipment (eg monthly maintenance check by
the manager or delegated employee to ensure the integrity of the building and equipment; and daily checks prior
to work commencing in the premises and operation of equipment to ensure it is satisfactory to use. This
information is to be recorded).
• Ensure changes made to buildings and equipment that may impact food safety is documented. For example:
o Building construction activities may increase the risk of contamination from bacteria, pests or foreign matter.
NOTE: New equipment or changes to existing equipment may require new verification studies, such as re-
evaluating temperature controls.
Maintenance of buildings and equipment is important to minimise the risk of food contamination.
The Food Standards Code 3.2.3 sets out the requirements for Food Premises and Equipment.
Businesses need to set up a system for approving and reviewing their suppliers. Your business may choose some
of the following approaches:
• Some businesses may decide to purchase high risk foods only from suppliers who have a food safety system in
place.
• Businesses should have a list of all suppliers used, their contact details and materials they supply. This would
assist with traceability.
• Ideally the performance of suppliers should also be monitored – this may include a history of their ability to
supply within an agreed specification.
• Ideally a record of all suppliers and a copy of their HACCP certification to prove accreditation status.
Suppliers test results, where applicable, are to be available for audit. Supplier certification may be an appropriate
alternative.
All information should be recorded along with any correction action taken.

Dear Joe
Our business is committed to providing our customers with product that is of the highest quality and which
complies with the requirements of the Food Standards Code.
To facilitate this commitment we have implemented a food safety program that complies with these requirements.
This program identifies the potential food safety hazards, introduces measure to control these hazards and action
where necessary to control them.
A critical component of this food safety program requires all suppliers of food, chemicals and packaging to
demonstrate that their goods are produced with due care. This includes providing goods with packaging intact,
undamaged, clean, clearly labelled and within temperature control (where appropriate).
We therefore ask that you complete the attached application to join our Approved Suppliers List. Once completed
the form should be returned to us at the address below.
We value our business relationship and upon receiving details of your commitment to a food safety program, we
look forward to your assistance in offering our customers the highest possible level of food safety.
Yours sincerely

• frequency of cleaning,
• use of chemicals,
Cleaning detergent solution strengths, times and temperature requirements are to be in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specifications.
All chemicals used for cleaning and sanitation should be stored away from any food.
Generally, food handling areas should be cleaned at least daily and food contact surfaces, equipment and utensils
should be sanitised more frequently if required.
The verification of the effectiveness of cleaning should be determined; this may include visual assessment and
regular environmental swabbing as part of the verification program.
A pre-operational hygiene check of the premises may be carried out to ensure that all surfaces are clean prior to
use and recorded on a Pre-operational Checklist.
Evidence that all chemicals used in the processing area and hand wash stations are suitable for use with food
products should be available. Chemicals must be well labelled at all times.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all chemicals stored and/or used should be kept. It is suggested that a list
be kept of all chemicals used on site, their suitability for use in food processing areas (if the chemical is to be used
in a food handling or processing area) and where the chemical is used.
Proper cleaning and sanitation will decrease the likelihood of the food becoming contaminated and will discourage
pests from the premises and vehicles.

A Pest Control Program must be established and documented. It must be effective without posing any risk to food
safety.
Listed below are issues regarding pest control and chemical application you must comply with. You must also
document this information in a documented procedure.
• A documented procedure for regular inspections. It should cover the effectiveness of flyscreens, doors,
insectocutors, air locks etc. and results recorded.
• Documented location of bait and insect stations used.
NOTE: Bait and insect stations are not permitted to be placed in areas where food is stored or processed.
Instead a perimeter border of bait stations around the building can be used. Any bait stations are checked
regularly in accordance with an inspection program.
• All chemicals used for pest control must be stored away from any food.
NOTE: Chemicals used for pest control can be extremely hazardous and there are other government regulations
you must comply with (eg. NSW Workcover). You should seek expert advice before using chemicals to control
pests.
If premises are treated by a pest control company the business will need to:
Records of pest control contractor visit, pest control treatments and contract details must be held on site.

Policies and procedures should be established to ensure that staff and their conduct do not adversely impact on
food safety.
Procedures must be in place to ensure that activities of food handlers who may be suffering from a food-borne
disease or are a carrier of a food-borne disease is in accordance with FSC 3.2.2
Personal hygiene, staff clothing and headwear must comply with Food Standards Code 3.2.2
requirements.
All staff must be trained to enable them to perform their job safely and competently.
All new staff should receive an induction covering instructions on how to perform their duties to ensure good food
handling procedures are followed.
Training of staff should be recorded and show the dates training was completed and proposed future training for
all staff. A simple table recording staff knowledge, training and ability (a training matrix) is recommended).
A food business must ensure that persons undertaking or supervising food handling operations have skills in and
knowledge of food safety and hygiene matters commensurate with their work activities.

For example, if a thermometer used to check a critical heating temperature is not reading accurately, you may not
know that process requirements are not being met.
All equipment used to conduct food safety system checks must be calibrated. This may include scales,
thermometers.
Calibration procedures, for both internal and external (contracted) calibration, must be documented. Records of all
calibration must be kept and be available for review during audits.
• Each instrument that is calibrated must be uniquely identified in the calibration documents and on the instrument.
• The maximum error allowed before corrective action is required must be stated.
• The corrective action to be taken when instruments are found to be out of specification.
All equipment used at the premises must be calibrated and maintained in working order.

Comments/Further Action
Internal audits are generally conducted by staff within the organisation. Where possible, these staff should be
independent of the operation being audited.
• At least annually
An internal audit checklist may be used. The findings of the internal audits must be documented, retained and
available for audit for four years.
The findings must be brought to the attention of personnel responsible for the section being audited. Managers
responsible for the area are to take timely corrective action on deficiencies found during the audit. A record must
be kept of action taken.
Internal Audits are conducted to ensure that practices comply with the requirements of the food safety program
(the manual) and are adequate to ensure food safety.
Comments/Further Action:
• Current documents may be held in a master manual which can be a "working" manual or held electronically.
Records of HACCP checks and compliance to procedures provide evidence to auditors and management that the
system is being complied with. Records could include data recorders, cleaning, cool room temperature data and
temperature loggers.
Records can be held electronically but must be accessible and retained for a minimum of 12 months.
• people can be confident that they are using the current version of a document, and
Temperature for each area is recorded twice daily when being used.
Max temperature for Coolrooms is 5oC.
Max temperature for Freezer is -20oC.
If a reading is not within this limit, notify supervisor.
