Record 0 — Record-keeping guidance

24 July 2026

Victorian FoodSmart Record 0 — record-keeping rules (retain records for two years).

Victorian FoodSmart — Record 0 (record-keeping guidance). A business may use an alternative format only if it collects the same minimum information. Written records must be in English. Remote IT monitoring of cold storage should be discussed with the local council environmental health officer. Completed records must be kept onsite and available to an authorised officer. Staff must be able to access applicable records when the responsible person is absent. The Food Safety Supervisor must regularly review records. Every completed record must be retained for two years from the date it was made. Kelvio may provide cloud storage and offsite backup, but it must give the business a reliable onsite access/export option and an offline/backup procedure for inspections and system outages.
