National programmes: Suspension of operations of registered food business under national programme
93Effect of suspension
If all or any operations of a registered food business that is subject to a national programme are suspended under section 90 or 92 or the suspension is extended under section 91, the registration authority may—
- direct that any food imported, produced, or processed and handled under any affected operations must not be sold; and
- direct the operator of the food business, or the person in control of any affected food, food-related accessory, or operations of the food business, to take appropriate action to deal with the affected food, food-related accessory, or operations; and
- exercise any of the relevant powers under section 285.
Section 285 applies to a registration authority that is the relevant territorial authority as if references to the chief executive in that section were references to the relevant territorial authority.
The registration authority must ensure that, during the period of suspension, the suspension is recorded on the relevant public register.
A suspension under section 90 or 92 does not affect any other actions that the registration authority may take under this Act.
