Module 2: Food Safety Management (FS)

The key elements and associated outcomes that form part of this module are outlined below.  Further resource material associated with this module is available to assist Feedlots.
Item Element Outcomes
FS1 Property Risk Assessment

Systems have been implemented to minimise the risk of livestock being exposed to sites that are unacceptably contaminated with organochlorine or other persistent chemicals, or other potential sources of persistent chemicals, and being exposed to sources of potentially injurious physical contaminants in meat intended for human consumption.

FS2 Safe And Responsible Animal Treatment

Systems have been implemented to ensure that animal treatments are stored and administered in a safe and responsible manner to minimise the risk of chemical residues and physical hazards in livestock intended for human consumption

FS3 Fodder Crop, Grain And Pasture Treatments And Stock Foods

Systems have been implemented to manage the exposure of livestock to foods containing unacceptable chemical contamination to minimise the risk of chemical residues in livestock and to eliminate the risk of animal products being fed to ruminant livestock intended for human consumption

FS4 Additive, Premix And Liquid Supplement Manufacturer Accreditation

Systems have been implemented to ensure the safety and integrity of products through sourcing and documenting all additives, premix and liquid supplement products from manufacturers which retain relevant industry accreditation.

FS5 Preparation For Dispatch Of Livestock

Systems have been implemented to ensure that the selected livestock are fit for transport and that the risk of stress and contamination of livestock during assembly and transport is minimised.

FS6 Livestock Transactions And Movements

A system has been implemented to ensure traceability of the current status of all livestock with respect to treatment or exposure to relevant food safety hazards for all livestock movements between livestock production enterprises including to slaughter and live export.
