70: Removal of food business from coverage of food control plan

You could also call this:

"Stopping a food business from being part of a food safety plan"

If you have a food business, the registration authority can remove it from a food control plan that covers two or more businesses. This can happen if the authority thinks it would be okay to cancel the whole plan if your business was the only one using it, based on what is said in section 67. The authority will look at how removing your business from the plan will affect other businesses that are still part of the plan.

When the authority decides whether to remove your business from the plan, they must think about how it will affect the other businesses that are still covered by the plan. They also need to consider whether the plan will still make sure food is safe and suitable.

The authority will follow rules from sections 66 to 69 and Part 4 of Schedule 4 when removing your business from the plan, and they will adjust these rules as needed to fit the situation.

70Removal of food business from coverage of food control plan

  1. The registration authority may remove a food business from the coverage of a registered food control plan that applies to 2 or more businesses if satisfied that cancellation of the plan’s registration would be appropriate under section 67 if the food business were the only one operating under the plan.

  2. In determining whether to exercise the power conferred by subsection (1), the registration authority must take into account the effect of removing the food business from the coverage of the food control plan on any food business or food businesses that will continue to be covered by the plan and whether the plan will continue to achieve safe and suitable food.

  3. Sections 66 to 69 and Part 4 of Schedule 4 apply, subject to any necessary modifications, in relation to the removal of the business from the coverage of the food control plan as if references in those sections or that schedule to cancellation of the plan’s registration were references to removal of a food business from the coverage of the plan.
