Download The safety of non-commercial Food - MPI roles and responsibilities

MPI generally does not regulate non-commercial food. This means that non-commercial food and related activities are generally not subject to legal requirements for food safety. MPI manages safety risks of non-commercial food by carrying out non-regulatory intervention. This includes providing information, messages and advice (‘risk communication’) that support safe food practices, decisions and consumption within the community, home, and marae. MPI also monitors certain food safety hazards.
