Auckland food business and manager fined $16,500 over multiple food safety record keeping failures

An Auckland food producer and manager have been fined a total of $16,500 after failing to keep food production records.

All food businesses must have and follow a plan to manage any potential food safety risk to consumers, and the records must be kept for a minimum of 4 years.

Soma & Sons Limited, which trades as Tasty Foods, along with manager Bhavesh Soma (34) were yesterday (20 January 2025) sentenced in the Auckland District Court on 2 charges under the Food Act, following a successful prosecution by New Zealand Food Safety.

Soma & Sons Ltd were fined $13,500 for failing to comply with their Food Control Plan and Mr Soma was fined $3,000 for providing false information to a food safety officer.

New Zealand Food Safety deputy director general, Vincent Arbuckle says Soma & Sons is an experienced food producer and under its Food Control Plan, it is expected to record samosa cooling and cooking temperatures.

“The rules are there for a reason – to protect consumer health and the vast majority of food businesses do the right thing. Good record keeping is an important part of a food safety culture and ensures that if there was a food safety risk to consumers, we’d be able to access records and quickly find the origin. Poor record keeping makes this challenging and increases the risk to people’s health.”

In March 2021, a trade level food recall of fully cooked samosas was undertaken because the samosas found on site were being stored at an unsafe temperature and there were no records available for cooking and cooling temperatures.

An investigation by New Zealand Food Safety found Soma & Sons Ltd did not record cooling and cooking temperatures as part of its Food Control Plan on 4 occasions between 2020 and 2022.

“While we are not aware of anyone becoming ill from eating these products, the absence of records means there is no assurance that the plan is being followed. New Zealand Food Safety visited Soma & Sons Ltd several times and made it clear what was required, but they deliberately failed to act. It’s very disappointing to see this disregard for consumer health. New Zealand Food Safety will continue to hold such businesses to account to ensure consumers are protected and to demonstrate to the vast majority of food businesses that do the right thing, that the overall system is being monitored.”

Health and Politics – College of GPs says investment in primary care must be a top priority for new Health Minister

The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (the College) welcomes Hon Simeon Brown to the role of Minister of Health and looks forward to progressing changes to improve workforce challenges and health outcomes for New Zealanders.

College Chief Executive Toby Beaglehole says, “As the organisation responsible for training future generations of specialist GPs and rural hospital doctors, hearing the Minister’s commitment to increase access to general practice and primary care for New Zealanders is welcomed.

“How we can increase the numbers of medical graduates coming into our training programmes to become highly skilled specialists, and the funding around those programmes, will be at the top of our agenda to discuss with the Minister.”

College President Dr Samantha Murton says, “Healthcare starts in the community, not in the hospitals. In general practice we have 23 million patient contacts each year, no other medical specialty comes close to that, and we need to be recognised for the vital role we play in improving health outcomes.

“Investing in primary care is the most cost-effective way to address the challenges that the sector is facing. Proper investment would mean preventing further increases in non-urgent hospitalisations and Emergency Department visits. Proper investment also means having health services in the areas where they are needed with the appropriate health care professionals who are supported to deliver complex, comprehensive, timely and equitable care.

“I’d like to acknowledge Hon Dr Shane Reti for his dedication to the role of Health Minister. Over his tenure, the College has had many robust and productive discussions with Dr Reti on how to address the challenges being faced in primary care, and across the entire health sector, and we were able to celebrate some successes.”

The College welcomes the opportunity to work with Minister Brown on lasting solutions that will get New Zealanders swifter access to GPs as well as progressing advocacy on behalf of our 6,200 members to create well-resourced, sustainable and gold standard primary health workforce.

Visitors flock back to Mautohe Cathedral Cove

Date: 21 January 2025

In December, DOC reopened the main walking track to Mautohe Cathedral Cove after an extended closure due to damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle, and concerns about visitor safety at a site with known risks. Funding from the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy delivered reinstatement of walking access through a temporary re-route of the damaged track.

Tinaka Mearns, DOC’s Hauraki Waikato Taranaki Regional Director, says staff are pleased to see visitors enjoying the cove again.

“We have been manually recording the number of visitors on the Mautohe Cathedral Cove beach since 19 December, including Boxing Day and January 2 when visitor numbers peaked at more than 800 people.”

“The Coromandel DOC team says visitor levels at Mautohe Cathedral Cove are returning to pre-COVID levels, which indicates high demand for the experience offered at this picturesque site,” Tinaka says.

“The number of people enjoying the beach demonstrates the value of the investment in reinstating walking access – and the hard work of the staff, iwi, and contractors whose efforts ensured we could open it for this summer.”

Visitors to Mautohe Cathedral Cove are reminded there are no toilets on the beach, people should not linger under the archway or near the cliff faces, and anyone visiting the beach should take their waste with them when they leave. Toilets are provided near the Lees Rd entrance. An ideal time to visit is during low tide, which provides more space on the beach including distance from the risk of rock fall from the cliff face.

“Staff and ambassadors have been monitoring the site to ensure people have a great time and the place is well looked after,” Tinaka says. “We are really pleased visitors are making good use of the new toilets at the Lees Rd entrance, and are helping us care for this beautiful place.”

Meanwhile, DOC has implemented a new process to manage weather and landslide-related risk at Mautohe Cathedral Cove.

The Trigger Action Response Plan (TARP) for natural hazard risk management at Mautohe Cathedral Cove establishes criteria for inspecting the site to manage public safety regarding landslide, rockfall, and treefall hazards.

DOC staff will monitor weather (particularly heavy rain) and seismic information, and if one of four triggers occurs, staff will inspect the track to decide necessary actions to minimise the risk to visitors.

If a worst-case scenario were to emerge, any decisions on track closure will be communicated through DOC’s website and directly to stakeholders.

“Ongoing geological risk at Mautohe Cathedral Cove is one of the main challenges we have at this site,” Tinaka says. “Having the TARP in place gives our staff a clear process and guidelines to manage visitor safety and minimising risk for visitors to Mautohe Cathedral Cove – and that’s an important priority.”

Aotearoa must step up as Trump plays with climate fire

LiveNews Publisher

January 21, 2025

Source: Green Party

The Green Party is calling on the Government to stand firm and work with allies to progress climate action as Donald Trump signals his intent to pull out of the Paris Climate Accords once again.

“Every human being, from Aotearoa to the United States of America, lives on the same planet,” says Green Co-leader and Climate Spokesperson, Chlöe Swarbrick.

“Every action, of any Government, that increases climate changing emissions increases the frequency and severity of catastrophes like the Los Angeles fires or our North Island’s Cyclone Gabrielle.

“Trump is talking about colonising Mars while scorching Earth.

“He’s right that ‘a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth’ from citizens – but he’s giving that system a shot of steroids by enabling more corporate profiteering from polluting fossil fuels.

“Regular people pay the price while billionaires get privatised firefighter forces.

“If the United States follows through on pulling out of the Paris Agreement, they join Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only nations on planet Earth unwilling to formally cooperate on securing our collective future.

“Christopher Luxon talks at length about how he’s got to work with international leaders even if he disagrees with them. How about working with those we apparently agree with to just take action on climate change?

“The climate crisis is a ticking time bomb – one we, perversely, actually know the code to diffuse. We either transform our economy into something that serves people and planet, or watch it go up in flames.

“Trump’s election requires us to show what we stand for and do it, instead of hiding behind the big boys.

“Christopher Luxon can and should set an ambitious Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for 2035, scrap opening new fossil fuel mines and drilling and actually commit to meeting our 2030 NDC.

“What I’m saying to you is, words are cheap,” says Chlöe Swarbrick.

Transport – Transporting New Zealand welcomes Chris Bishop as new Transport Minister

January 21, 2025

Source: Ia Ara Aotearoa Transporting New Zealand

National road freight association Ia Ara Aotearoa Transporting New Zealand has praised outgoing Transport Minister Simeon Brown and welcomed his successor, Chris Bishop, following a ministerial reshuffle announced by Prime Minister Chris Luxon on Sunday.

Chief Executive Dom Kalasih said that Minister Brown, who is the new Minister of Health, made a lot of progress during his Transport tenure. He refocused transport investment on the essentials, particularly road maintenance and improvements, road policing, and emphasis on achieving value for money.

“Over the past 12 months we’ve seen funding approved for Roads of National Significance projects including Belfast to Pegasus Motorway and Woodend Bypass Road of National Significance and Hawke’s Bay Expressway. There has been fast-track consenting enabled for 29 key road, rail, and port projects, and substantial investment in road maintenance and pot-hole repair. This all bodes well for future growth and reflects the outgoing Minister’s focus on delivery.”

Kalasih says that Minister Brown and the Coalition Government had also committed to using additional revenue tools to help address the transport deficit, including increased use of tolling, enabling congestion charging, and moving petrol vehicles from fuel excise duty to a more equitable universal road user charging scheme.

“Given the country is facing a large transport funding deficit, the work Minister Brown and his Ministerial colleagues undertook around new revenue sources has been critically important. We need a constructive, bipartisan, discussion about how we fund the transport system into the future.”

Transporting New Zealand is also welcoming incoming Minister of Transport Chris Bishop.

“Minister Bishop’s appointment will provide continuity to the portfolio, given his roles as Minister for Infrastructure and Minister Responsible for RMA Reform. The Minister previously held the shadow transport portfolio while in opposition, so he knows the sector well.”

“We look forward to working with the Minister to improve transport outcomes for the entire country, particularly lifting productivity, safety, and freight efficiency.”

Transporting New Zealand has also acknowledged outgoing Associate Minister of Transport Matt Doocey and incoming Associate Minister James Meager.

“Having Minister Meager holding the newly created role of Minister for the South Island along with being Associate Minister of Transport is a positive signal to our South Island members about the Coalition Government’s commitment to the mainland and its roading network.”
