98: Surrender of registration

You could also call this:

"Stopping your food business registration"

Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you are in charge of a food business that follows a national programme, you can give up its registration at any time. You do this by sending a written notice to the people who handle registrations. If the people who handle registrations are not the chief executive, they must tell the chief executive as soon as possible that you have given up the registration. Giving up registration does not stop the registration authority from taking other actions against you under the Food Act 2014. You can still face other consequences even after you give up the registration of your food business.
