I will give it a third go: food not classified as risk food is tested for compliance with Australia’s food standards at the rate of five per cent of consignments. Where a consignment fails a test, subsequent consignments are tested at the rate of 100 per cent, whether the product is risk food or not, until a history of compliance is demonstrated.
