Food safety and quality
release time:
2025-01-10
Food safety is a top priority for Australia’s macadamia industry. Its approach is underpinned by sophisticated production processes, generations of knowledge about quality on farm and in factory, a commitment to biological pest control, and Australia’s reputation as a clean and green environment.
The Australian macadamia industry has rigorous food safety & quality standards, and testing protocols. Good agricultural practice (GAP) on farm underpins a quality and food safety focus that extends throughout the supply chain.
All processors are HACCP certified and most have additional quality management systems, to ensure compliance from orchard to end customer.
This year has seen advances made in the traceability space to complement existing food safety practices. Increasingly sophisticated systems are being developed that will trace an Australian grown macadamia’s precise origin, ultimately delivering quality improvements throughout the supply chain.
Australia’s standing as the producer of premium quality macadamias is validated by the results of the Australian Government’s National Residue Survey, a program that screens Australian crops for a range of chemical pesticides and environmental contaminants. In 2024 Australian macadamias achieved 100% compliance in the NRS for the 27th consecutive year – a record unmatched by any other Australian fresh product.
