433: Duration of deemed food control plans under sections 430 and 431

You could also call this:

"When deemed food control plans under sections 430 and 431 stop being used"

If you have a deemed food control plan under sections 430 and 431, it will be effective until one of two dates. You will stop using this plan on the date the authorised transition period for your food sector ends. You will also stop using it when your food business starts operating under an applicable risk-based measure.

If you want to, you can choose to operate under the applicable risk-based measure sooner, during the authorised transition period for your food sector. This means you can switch to the new measure before the transition period ends. You can do this if you want to start following the new rules earlier.
