Resumen

This Act, consisting of five Parts and seven Schedules, repeals the Food Act 1981. Part 1 contains preliminary provisions that: a) state the purpose of this Act; b) set out its application; c) define certain terms used in this Act; d) state the primary duty of persons who trade in food; e) specify the principles for persons with regulatory roles under this Act and its relationship between Animal Products Act 1999 and Wine Act 2003. Part 2 relates to risk-based measures, which are the main mechanisms under this Act for achieving the safety and suitability of food. In particular, it provides for: a) classification of food sectors into 3 classes based on, among other things, the level of risk that they pose to public health; b) specify which (if any) risk-based measure generally applies to food businesses in each of those 3 classes; c) require food traders to operate under the risk-based measure that generally applies to the food sector that the person’s food business is in, unless certain specified circumstances apply; and d) set out the nature, content, and effect of risk-based measures. Part 3 contains provisions that: a) require the safety and suitability of food imported for the purpose of sale; b) provide for the registration of importers of that food. Part 4 contains provisions relating to recognition, the functions of territorial authorities, administration, and enforcement. It also provides for: a) recognition of related agencies and persons; b) state the functions and duties of related territorial authorities; c) set out the principles for the recovery of the direct and indirect costs of administering this Act; and d) deal with enforcement matters, such as offences, penalties, evidentiary presumptions, the court’s powers to make additional orders for effective enforcement, and the chief executive’s powers to give directions. Part 5 contains provisions about exemptions from the application of this Act, delegation, review of decisions made by the chief executive or a person acting under the delegated authority of the chief executive, consultation, incorporation by reference, and transitional matters. It contains regulation-making powers that provide for regulations about standards in relation to food, risk-based measures, improving the safety and suitability of food, imported food, recognised agencies, persons, and classes of persons, information, offences, and administrative matters. It also contains provisions on the issuing of notices, including emergency notices.
