69: Effect of cancellation of registration

You could also call this:

"What happens if your food business registration is cancelled?"

If the registration of a food control plan is cancelled, the registration authority may direct you to not sell any food that was imported, produced, or processed under the affected operations. The authority may also tell you to take action to deal with the affected food or operations. You may be required to follow the rules outlined in section 285 as well.

When the registration authority is the relevant territorial authority, they have the same powers as the chief executive under section 285. This means they can make decisions about your food business.

If your registration is cancelled, it does not stop the registration authority from taking other actions against you under the Food Act 2014.
