Class 4 Food Business

The main activities undertaken by Class 4 food businesses pose a low risk to public health, such as sale of uncut fruit and vegetables, wine tastings and sale of pre-packaged confectionary. Food businesses that may be categorised under Class 4 include newsagents, pharmacies, video stores and bottle shops.

Sausage sizzles also are categorised as Class 4 if only sausages, bread, onion and sauce is sold.

Class 4 Food Business Requirements

Class 4 food businesses must comply with the following requirements:

  • Register with Council each time before selling food at an event, as well as registering online with FoodTrader.
