New Zealand plans simpler food-safety paperwork for hospitality firms
The government has accepted seven recommendations to change how food-safety requirements apply to hospitality businesses.

Ministers say the changes should reduce compliance costs; that is an expected benefit, not a measured saving already delivered.
