Part 2Risk management programmes
Relationship between Food Act regime and risk management programmes
31Object of sections 32 to 34A
The object of sections 32 to 34A is to recognise the general equivalence of food control plans and risk management programmes
, and to minimise the problems of overlap of 2 separate legislative regimes, by—- allowing, in section 32, a secondary processor of an animal product which is a food to elect to operate solely under a risk management programme and this Act, rather than under the equivalent Food Act regime (particularly where the food is for export, and may require official assurances); and
- providing, in section 34, for the registration of food control plans as risk management programmes, and allowing switching between plans and programmes in the case of persons who wish to operate principally under one regime, but may also need or wish to operate from time to time under the other regime in respect of all or part of their operations.
