The document outlines Australian legal requirements for food safety concerning the presence of flying insects, emphasizing the necessity of using glue board fly traps instead of electronic ones to prevent contamination. It explains the HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) framework which helps in eliminating hazards in food production, highlighting the importance of effective pest control strategies. Additionally, the document describes various models of insect light traps and their features, as well as guidelines for maintenance and proper placement to maximize effectiveness in food handling areas.

2. Flies & The Law Australian Legal Requirements
• Food Hygiene Regulations require that food is wholesome & safe &
has not been contaminated by flying insect pests. All food preparation
and retail premises should be protected against flies.
• Australian Food Standards Code is administered by
Food Standards Australia NZ
• Standard 3 of the Commonwealth Food Standard Codes deals with
the processing of food, the condition of premises and equipment and
food handling.

3. Flies & The Law Australian Legal Requirements
• Standard 3.1.1, Division 2, section (4) (d) holds that
• “food is not suitable if it….contains a biological…agent…that is foreign
to the nature of food”. In addition to requiring that no pests find their
way into food, this standard is often interpreted to encourage the use
of glue board – not electronic – UV Fly Units.
• The preference for glue board units is derived from concerns that fly
parts will be “exploded” on impact with the electronic grid.
• It is strongly advised, and a requirement of many health inspectors,
that glue board units be used in all food preparation and handling
areas.

4. What is HACCP?
• HACCAP – Hazard, Analysis, Critical Control Point
• A Food Safety Program
• To help eliminate hazards at critical stages of production
EG: Implementing a Pest Control Policy or a Personal Hygiene Policy
• Outside of the UK and EU, whilst HACCP is not regulatory, it is still the
accepted standard for business involved in the food market.

5. How do Light Traps fit in with HACCP ?
• (Relative to Pest Control)
• Flying Insects in Food Safety
• Flying Insects can be carriers of Bacteria & Viruses that can introduce
disease at all points of the food chain.
• An effective flying insect control strategy is essential
• Key tool for this is a HACCP approved Insect Light Trap

6. Some facts about Flies
• Lay eggs on rotting waste, animal excrement and garbage
• Can lay up to 150 eggs in a day
• Can fly for several miles from breeding place
• Carry bacteria which is proven to cause contamination
• Vectors of disease causing Salmonella, Listeria, Ecoli
• Don’t see Insect Light Traps 30 meters away
• Respond to Insect Light Traps within 3-4 meters
• Fly within 2 meters of the floor
• Use UV rays to navigate
