New Zealand Food Safety (Haumaru Kai Aotearoa) is a business unit of Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). It is a Regulatory Body/Competent Authority that is “trusted by everyone everywhere” and has both a Domestic and International focus.
Domestically, NZFS provides a thorough and effective regulatory framework for producers and growers so New Zealand consumers have the right information available to them to make the best choices to feed themselves, their whānau and friends, and ensures that the food that is grown, produced, processed, prepared, shared and consumed across Aotearoa is safe and suitable for everyone.
The Assurance Directorate within NZFS provides assurance that New Zealand’s animal products, live animal, plant health, wine, and organic assurance systems are being operated in line with regulatory and non-regulatory standards. This is achieved using a range of verification mechanisms and oversight interventions.
Internationally, New Zealand strives to produce safe and suitable food and food-related products which are sought after by consumers worldwide. Primary sector exports are essential to our economy. They are exported to over 200 countries, are worth around $49 billion, and make up 15% of GDP. More than 80% of total export revenue comes from the export of primary products.
Export certification is an essential requirement in facilitating the international trade of our primary products. The requirements for certification, and the attestations which must be made regarding the product, are negotiated between MPI and the importing government agency or Overseas Competent Authority (OCA). MPI works with importing countries and in international standard-setting bodies to ensure the requirements for certification are risk- and science-based.
In order to ensure market access for NZ primary produce, the attestations made on export certifications must be underpinned by controls such as manufacturer and exporter registration, operator programmes setting out how risks are managed and market requirements met, and verification of manufacturing processing and growing as relevant to the type of operation.
The work we do to set standards for export, ensure compliance with requirements and only certify compliant product ensures our trading partners have confidence that the primary industries products are safe and suitable and meet their requirements.
Similarly, certification is a tool MPI uses to reduce the risks associated with importe
