When buying something you’ll eat, it’s always good to check if a Dunedin food business is registered & safe!
Yes, food is fun! Food gets us together and makes us happy! But it’s something that we allow to be absorbed by our body to be a part of us, and so it should always be safe. Fortunately, there’s a great tool that you can use anytime to help ensure safety when purchasing food products (cakes, takeaways, dining out, and more) in New Zealand.
The Ministry of Primary Industries has recently been encouraging consumers to use their verification tool to select businesses that produce their products in health verified premises. When purchasing food for yourself, your family, or your special celebrations, it’s always worth choosing businesses that operate in clean, hygienic environments, follow local food safety regulations, and care about responsible practices. 
Food safety and proper registration help ensure the products you enjoy are prepared with the right standards, processes, and accountability in place.
You can check registered food businesses here on MPI’s Public Register of Businesses Operating Under Food Control Plans and National Programmes: https://mpi.my.salesforce-sites.com/publicregister
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) maintains a free public database. Anyone can use it to verify a local food seller.
Follow these 3 easy steps to check if a Dunedin business is Registered & Safe:
- Step 1: Go to the official MPI Public Register of Food Businesses
- Step 2: Type the business name into the “Trading Name” search box.
- Step 3: To narrow it down, select “Dunedin City Council” under the “Registration Authority” dropdown menu.
