60: Registration authority may impose conditions on registration of food control plan

You could also call this:

"The people in charge can add rules when you register a food safety plan."

When you register a food control plan, the registration authority can add conditions to your registration. They can choose conditions they think are reasonable. The authority can change these conditions at any time.

If the government has made rules about conditions under section 43(1)(e), the registration authority must follow those rules. The authority must tell you in writing about any new or changed conditions. They must explain why they are making these changes.

The authority must also tell you that you have the right to ask for a review of the conditions under section 355. When the authority changes conditions, it means they can add new ones, remove old ones, or change existing ones. This is what is meant by "vary" in this context.
