You know that little piece of paper that hangs in every bakery with an A-B-C rating on it? Well where and how can I get one?! Thinking of starting up a lil home business venture which involves sweet making so I need to know, do I need a certificate of any kind?

I would suggest you contact your local council and speak with someone there, possibly the health inspector

Contact your council. Each district has it's own regulations but the minimum requirement anywhere is a registered kitchen & achieving this at home is hard to do. You're not allowed pets for a start!

Here's the Regulation on what you need to do for registration of food premises:- http://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/1974/0169/latest/DLM43749.html?search=qs_all%40act%40bill%40regulation_food+hygiene_resel&p=1#DLM43749 You will also need somebody working there with a Food Hygiene Certificate (your local council probably does courses). On the other hand, if you already have the Food Hygiene Certificate, have you thought of renting an already-registered kitchen (think cafes, small restaurants, local halls, etc.) So long as you leave the place clean and tidy and non-sticky, there are lots of small restaurants and the like who'd be only too happy to earn some extra money by renting their kitchen out part time.

Ditto the above post. Very difficult to get your own kitchen liscencesd, and no go if you haver pets.
