Laboratories under the Food Act 2001
The Food Act 2001 (the Act) requires SA Health to approve laboratories to carry out analyses of food under the Act.
Laboratories are approved based on receiving accreditation from the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) with their approval being conditional on the laboratories retaining this accreditation. Analysts employed by an accredited laboratory are considered appropriate for the purpose of analysing samples for the purpose of the Food Act.
SA Health must maintain a publicly accessible list of laboratories approved under the Act. The list of approved laboratories in South Australia is provided below.
Applying to be an approved laboratory
The Department is no longer required to approve analysts. Analysts employed by an accredited laboratory are considered appropriate for the purpose of analysing samples for the purpose of the Food Act.
All applications must be submitted using the Laboratory application form.
For any enquiries relating to the approval of laboratories please contact the Food Standards Surveillance unit by phoning (08) 8226 7100 or emailing health.food@sa.gov.au
If approval is granted, written approval will be given to the applicant setting out any conditions to which the approval is subject. An approval remains in force until it is cancelled.
