s 11 Meaning of “unsafe” food
11.—(1) For the purposes of this Act, food is unsafe at a particular time if it would be likely to cause physical harm to an individual who might later consume it, assuming — (a) it was, after that particular time and before being consumed by the individual, properly subjected to all processes (if any) that are relevant to its reasonable intended use; (b) nothing happened to it after that particular time and before being consumed by the individual that would prevent it being used for its reasonable intended use; and (c) it was consumed by the individual according to its reasonable intended use. (2) However, food is not unsafe for the purposes of this Act merely because — (a) any individual objects to it because of personal preference; (b) any part of the community objects to it on moral, ethical, cultural, spiritual or religious grounds; (c) its consumption in inappropriate quantities may damage an individual’s health; or (d) its presence or consumption is unhealthy for any individual who has an allergy or other personal health condition. (3) In subsection (1), the reference to processes includes a reference to processes involving storage.
