Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you want to register a food business that is subject to a national programme, the registration authority might refuse your application. The authority must tell you in writing why they want to refuse your application and give you a chance to respond in writing. They want to hear what you have to say before making a final decision.

If the registration authority decides to refuse your application, they will tell you their decision and the reason for it in writing. You will also be told that you have the right to ask for a review of the decision under section 355. The authority will do this as soon as they can after making their final decision.

You will get written notice of the decision and what you can do next, which includes seeking a review of the decision under section 355.
