LPA Food Safety
Level 1 LPA (food safety) is a simple on-farm food safety program asking you to be able to ‘back up’ the claims you make on the NVD Waybill.
The LPA food safety standard consists of one module, Food Safety Management, made up of five elements:
- Property risk assessment
- Safe and responsible animal treatments
- Stock foods, fodder crops, grain and pasture treatments
- Preparation for dispatch of livestock
- Livestock transactions and movements
For each of the elements, there is a 'food safety outcome'. The food safety outcomes are aimed at ensuring meat from your livestock is fit for human consumption.
To maintain LPA accreditation, you must comply with all elements. These elements relate to what you declare and sign off on when completing the LPA NVD/Waybill Edition 1. You are also part of a random audit pool.
Practical information on how you can ensure that each of the elements are met on your farm can be found under Tools to Help. It is also contained in the LPA Manual.
