133C: Regulations and notices relating to tracing and recall of food

You could also call this:

"Rules for tracing and recalling food to keep you safe"

Illustration for Food Act 2014

The Governor-General can make rules about tracing and recalling food. You need to know that these rules can say who has to follow them and what they have to do. This includes making plans for tracing food and recalling food, and testing these plans. The Minister has to make sure people are consulted before recommending these rules, as stated in section 379. The chief executive can add to these rules by giving a notice, as stated in section 405, and you can find out more about publication requirements in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
