73 Other samples—proprietor to be told sample to be analysed (1) This section applies if an authorised officer proposes to take, or takes, a sample of food from a food business for analysis. (2) Before or as soon as practicable after taking the sample, the authorised officer must tell the proprietor of the food business or, if the proprietor is not present or readily available, the person from whom the sample was obtained or who was in charge of the food from which the sample was taken, of the authorised officer’s intention to have the sample analysed. (3) However, this section does not apply if the authorised officer obtains the sample from a vending machine and the authorised officer cannot identify anyone who appears to be in charge of the machine at the time the sample is obtained.
