Unveiling the plans, primary industries minister Ian Macdonald said the Food Amendment Act 2007 will come into effect at the beginning of next month.
“This ‘name and shame’ legislation is about providing choice to the people of NSW and giving an added incentive to businesses to do the right thing,” Macdonald said.
The new laws will see the details of food companies that receive penalty notices from the Food Safety Authority and NSW councils for serious food offences posted online.
