Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you have a food business that was not covered by the Food Hygiene Regulations 1974 or the Food Act 1981, but is now covered by this Act, this section applies to you. You must operate under the applicable risk-based measure, if there is one, by the end of the authorised transition period for your food sector. This means you need to follow the new rules that apply to your type of food business by the end of the transition period.
