77C: Regulations relating to tracing and recall

You could also call this:

"Rules for tracking and recalling animal products to keep people safe"

The Governor-General can make rules about tracing and recalling animal material or animal products. You need to follow these rules if you work with animal products. The rules can say who has to have plans for tracing and recalling animal products, what those plans should include, and how to test and use those plans.

The rules can also say what you must include in your risk management programmes, which are plans to manage risks, as outlined in section 17. The rules must be published, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
