If something goes wrong
Protecting food safety in mushrooms
Food safety in mushroom cultivation relies on vigilance, preparation, and the ability to respond quickly when things don’t go to plan. While the Australian Agaricus industry has a strong record of producing safe, high-quality mushrooms, no system is completely risk-free.
Food safety incidents can still occur even when growers are following best practices. The decisions made in the first moments are critical. Acting promptly and correctly protects not only your customers and your business, but also the reputation of the wider mushroom industry. That’s why it’s essential for growers to understand the practical steps to take, the resources available, and the value of leaning on industry expertise and support networks.
