All businesses subject to a National Programme (all levels) have the right to choose their own verier. A verier is the
agency or person who will come and assess your business in ord
er to demonstrate compliance with the Food Act
2014 and Food Regulations 2015.
Registration Authority
Your food business must be registered in order to legally operate. Most commonly, your registration authority will be
your local council if your business operates solely within one district.
If your business operates over different council districts or operates from multiple sites, the Ministry for Primary
Industries (MPI) may instead be your registration authority. Check with your local council or MPI if you are unsure
who your registration authority should be.
Choosing a Verier
You have the choice of selecting which agency you want to undertake your verications. This may be your local
council should they hold recognition or an independent (third party) organisation. A list of all recognised agencies
can be found on MPI’s website:
www.foodsafety.govt.nz/registers-lists/food-act-2014-recognised-agencies/index.htm
Conicts of Interest
If any staff or contractors of the Council have been involved in the design of the customer’s food premises or procedures,
it cannot act as the customer’s verier. The Council aims to undertake the agreed services in an independent and
impartial manner at all times.
Template Food Control
Plans registered with MPI
Certain Template Food Control Plan operators can nominate their own verifier. This includes Template Food Control plan
businesses registered as a mobile business with the base in QLDC but operate selling food outside of our district. Also, If
you are operating a multi-site business using a template FCP, and have been required to register with MPI or another
authority because you also operate outside the QLDC area, you may still choose to use QLDC as your verifier or appoint
your own third party verifier.
If you have registered a template FCP (whether modified or not) with MPI for a business required to operate a custom
FCP, QLDC is not able to offer verification of custom FCPs.
Once you have chosen your verifier, you will need to inform your registration authority of your choice. Your verifier may
ask you to complete an agreement to officially nominate them as your verifier.
Should you have any questions about choosing a verifier, please contact either Queenstown Lakes District
Council or MPI on 0800 00 83 33.

Schedule 1: Food Business
verication terms and conditions
Queenstown Lakes District Council (“Council”) is a registration authority under the Food Act 2014 (“the Act”) for food control
plans (“the Plans”) and food businesses subject to a national programme (“the Programme”).
Under the Act, any appropriately recognised agency or person can verify a business operating under the Programme.
The Ministry for Primary Industries (“the Ministry”) has appointed Council a verier under the Act to verify businesses subject to
the Plans and the Programme.
The following terms and conditions apply to food businesses which have agreed for Council to act as their verier.
Terms used in these terms and conditions that are dened in the Act, have the meaning given to them in the Act.
1. TERM AND TERMINATION
1.1 Subject to the other provisions of these terms, the parties obligations to each other start on the start date and end on
the termination date set out in the verication agreement.
Assess each contract against available veriers and technical requirements, the contract will be declined if no verier
is available.
1.2
The customer may terminate the agreement with Council at any time by giving 1 month written notice.
1.3 If the customer’s registration is revoked, surrendered or substituted, or if the customer does not pay the Council’s
charges or meet any other responsibilities, Council may immediately suspend or restrict the services at any time.
Such activities will be reported to the registration authority (if not Council and/or the Ministry).
1.4
If the customer’s registration is revoked, surrendered or substituted, or if the customer does not pay the Council’s
charges or meet any other responsibilities, the Council may immediately stop providing any of its services to the
customer.
(a)
This right is additional to any other right or remedy the Council may have against the customer at law which
rights and remedies survive termination of this agreement.
1.5
Otherwise, where the Council has agreed to provide a service for a minimum period, it will continue providing it until
the end of that period, and will notify the customer, at least 14 days before it stops providing the service.
2. VERIFICATION
2.1 The customer agrees and acknowledges that:
2.1.1 The Council will carry out the verication function under the Act and the Food Regulations 2015 (“the
Regulations”), with respect to the customer’s food business.
2.1.2
The Council will obtain all evidence which in its discretion it requires to determine whether or not a food
business complies with the Programme and with the relevant provisions of the Act and Regulations.
2.1.3
The nature and extent of the Council’s procedures and processes may vary according to the type of business,
risk assessment, and previous compliance history and the Council will focus on what is most important for the
food safety at each type of business.
2.1.4
At the end of the verication, Council will provide the food business with an outcome report for the verication
detailing whether the verication is acceptable or unacceptable.
2.2
