You could also call this:

"When the boss says no to your food business registration"

Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you want to import food, you need to register. The chief executive might refuse your registration. If they think they will refuse you, they must tell you in writing why they want to refuse you. They must also give you a chance to write back to them with your thoughts. If the chief executive decides not to register you, they will tell you their decision and why they made it. They will also tell you that you can ask for a review of their decision under section 355. You will get this information in writing as soon as possible after the chief executive makes their decision.
