39: Food control plan: chief executive's power to issue official template or model

You could also call this:

"The boss of a government department can make a free template to help food businesses follow the rules."

The chief executive can create a template or model for food control plans for different types of food businesses. You can access this template or model for free on the Internet or at the Ministry's head office during reasonable hours. If you cannot access it online, you can ask for a copy and the chief executive will give it to you for free. The chief executive gets this power from section 405. A notice about this template or model is considered secondary legislation, which has its own publication requirements, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
