Seafood food safety scheme

The seafood food safety scheme risk assessment considers all possible risks that can impact food safety of seafood in NSW.  

Updated in 2025, the assessment:

• identifies biological, chemical and emerging hazards
• considers scientific developments
• examines foodborne illness outbreak data
• analyses risks
• provides an overview of seafood safety management.  

The updated risk assessment supports continuation of the seafood food safety scheme and notes low levels of familiar common problems and some emerging issues.
