The Food Act 1984 requires all businesses that handle, prepare, package, store, serve, supply and repackage food to be registered with their local council.
If you have sold your business, or stopped trading, you will need to cancel your food business registration.
From 1 July 2021, it's no longer possible to transfer a food business registration. Instead, the original owner of the business will need to cancel their registration, and the new owner will apply for a new food business registration.
How to cancel
