Introduction
This introduction is not part of the Food Notice, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

Purpose
This Notice specifies the food businesses that have been granted an exemption from the requirement to
operate under a registered food control plan or national programme under section 33 of the Food Act 2014.
This Notice also lists the previous exemptions that are in force.

Background
The purpose of the Food Act 2014 (the Act) is to achieve the safety and suitability of food for sale, to maintain
and improve confidence in New Zealand’s food safety regime and to provide for risk-based measures that
minimise and manage risks to public health.

Under section 33 of the Act, MPI may grant an exemption from the requirement for a food business to operate
under a registered food control plan or national programme. An exemption must be granted by a notice issued
under section 405.

Before granting an exemption, MPI must be satisfied that the applicant has demonstrated:
          • a valid and appropriate reason to be exempted that outweighs the public interest in treating
            persons and businesses in the same food sector consistently; and
          • an understanding and awareness of the importance of hazards and other factors that are relevant
            to achieving safe and suitable food.

In determining whether to grant an exemption, MPI must consider all of the following:
          • the hazards and other factors that are relevant in achieving safe and suitable food;
          • the potential impact on consumers;
          • the frequency and scale of operation;
          • the feasibility, effectiveness and efficiency of operating under a food control plan or national
            programme;
          • the appropriateness of regulatory control in comparison with controls specified for similar food
            sectors or types or descriptions of food business;
          • any other relevant matters.

Who should read this Food Notice?
(1)       Exempted food businesses.
(2)       Evaluators, verifiers, food safety officers and registration authorities under the Food Act 2014 should
          also be aware that the listed food businesses are exempted from the requirement for registration.

Why is this important?
All New Zealand food businesses are required to operate under a registered food control plan or register as a
business subject to a national programme unless they have been exempted under the section 33 of the Act.
