Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you run a food business that needs a food control plan, you must register it. You have two options: you can register the plan yourself with the right registration authority, or you can make sure someone else has already registered a plan that covers your business. You need to do this with the appropriate registration authority for your food control plan.
