(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Food Premises (Registration) Regulations 1991 by inserting into them a new category of domestic premises which need not be registered as food business premises under those Regulations.
The new exemption (regulation 2(2)) is for domestic premises used for the purposes of a food business in circumstances where the proprietor of the food business resides at those premises and the only commercial operation carried out there in relation to any food or food source is the preparation for sale of food to be sold from a market stall run by WI Country Markets Limited. Relevant registration authorities are, however, only obliged to alter their existing records to take account of this change to the legislation if they receive a written request from a food business proprietor asking for the removal of their premises from the register (regulation 2(2)).
