Food Act 2003

An interested person in relation to any information on a register kept under this Part may, by application to the Food Authority, request the Food Authority—

to make any correction or addition to information on the register that the Food Authority is authorised or required to make under this Part, or

to remove information from the register on the ground that the Food Authority is authorised or required by this Part to remove the information.

A person is an interested person in relation to information on a register only if the information relates to the person or to the person’s employee or agent, or to a business or company which the person owns or has an interest in.

An application must—

be made in a form approved by the Food Authority, and

be accompanied by the fee (if any) prescribed by the regulations.

The Food Authority may reduce the fee or remit or waive payment of the whole or any part of the fee.

A person who is aggrieved by a decision of the Food Authority not to make any correction or addition to information, or not to remove any information, in accordance with the person’s request under this section may apply to the Civil and Administrative Tribunal for an administrative review under the Administrative Decisions Review Act 1997 of the decision.

An application for such an administrative review must be made within 28 days after the day on which notice of the decision of the Food Authority is received by the person.
