436: Agencies managing approved auditors under Food Act 1981

You could also call this:

"Agencies that used to manage food auditors under the old food law"

If you are an agency that managed an approved auditor under the Food Act 1981 before a certain date, this section applies to you. You are considered a recognised agency from that date until a date specified by the chief executive in a notice. The chief executive can issue another notice to extend this date.

You will need to apply under section 135 if you want to keep being a recognised agency, unless section 136 applies to you. The chief executive's notice is a type of secondary legislation, which has its own publication requirements as outlined in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019, unless the notice only applies to a specific agency. This means the notice has to be published in a certain way, unless it's just for one agency.
