Corrigendum:

Through administrative error, the submission of Retail Meat New Zealand was omitted from the original published version of the Summary of Submissions. The Summary has now been updated to include issues raised by Retail Meat New Zealand in the following sections: General View of DFR, Food Handler Guidance, Roles and Responsibilities, Evaluation and Education and Training. NZFSA apologises to Retail Meat New Zealand, and assures them that the issues they raised have been considered by NZFSA in finalising its policy position on transition and related arrangements for the new food regulatory system.
