57: Refusal to register food control plan

You could also call this:

"When your food control plan is not approved"

If you want to register a food control plan, the registration authority might refuse it. They must tell you in writing why they want to refuse it and give you a chance to respond in writing. You will get to say why you think they should register your plan. The authority will consider your thoughts before making a final decision.

If the registration authority decides to refuse your plan, they will tell you their decision and the reason for it in writing. They must also tell you that you have the right to ask for a review of their decision under section 355. You can use this to challenge their decision if you do not agree with it.
