45: Operator may amend food control plan based on template or model issued under section 39 or approved under section 40

You could also call this:

"You can change your food control plan if it's based on a template or model, and tell the authorities about it."

Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you have a food control plan based on a template or model issued under section 39 or approved under section 40, you can make changes to it. You can make small changes and just tell the registration authority about them in writing.

If you make big changes to your food control plan, you need to ask the registration authority to approve the new plan. The registration authority might send your application to a different authority if they think that's who should be dealing with it.

The person in charge, called the chief executive, can decide what kinds of changes are big enough to need special approval, and they can tell you about this using a notice under section 405.
