349: Exemption for certain persons covered by Animal Products Act 1999

You could also call this:

"Some animal product handlers are exempt from Food Act rules if covered by the Animal Products Act 1999"

Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you have a registered risk management programme under the Animal Products Act 1999, you are exempt from some rules. You are also exempt if you are covered by a regulated control scheme for producing or processing animal materials or products under that Act.

You might be exempt if you do not need a risk management programme for certain animal materials or products under section 9 or section 14 of the Animal Products Act 1999. You are also exempt if you are exempt under section 13(3) of that Act from operating under a risk management programme.

If these rules apply to you, you do not have to follow certain risk-based measures for the activities related to your risk management programme, regulated control scheme, or exemption.
