When you apply to register a food business, you need to know who to apply to. The person or group you apply to is called the registration authority. You can apply to either the chief executive or your local council, depending on what the regulations say, which are made under section 76.
You will apply to one of these two groups, and they will decide if you can register your food business. The regulations made under section 76 will tell you which group to apply to. This helps you know who to contact when you want to register your food business.
