58: Applicants for registration must notify registration authority of significant change in circumstances

You could also call this:

"Tell the registration authority about big changes to your food control plan"

If you are applying to register a food control plan, you must tell the registration authority about any significant change in circumstances. You must give them written notice of the change. You should do this before the change happens, or as soon as possible after it happens, but no later than 10 working days after the change.

A significant change in circumstances means a change in the information you provided in your food control plan, or a change in the procedures in your plan. It also means any change that stops your plan from meeting the required criteria, which is explained in section 56. You can find more information about what you need to include in your plan in section 42(a) to (e) and section 55.

You need to make sure you follow the rules about significant changes, which are also connected to section 53(3) and section 42(h)(ii).
