9. Follow up action
For all results considered unacceptable or potentially hazardous, follow-up action was
undertaken by the respective food regulatory jurisdictions commensurate with the level of risk
posed. Where the analysis of test samples indicated a level of bacteria with the potential to
cause an adverse health risk, follow-up action included:
• investigation and inspection of the premises where the sushi was prepared to
assess compliance with Food Standards Code requirements;
• subsequent testing of additional product to determine compliance with
microbiological guidelines.
