FSA Consultation, 22 January 2016
This consultation seeks stakeholders' comments on the proposed Food Safety and Hygiene (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2016.
About this consultation
Who will this consultation be of most interest to?
Food business operators in approved establishments producing and processing pig meat or horse meat, officials working in such establishments, pig farmers and enforcement bodies.
What is the subject of this consultation?
The proposed Food Safety and Hygiene (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2016 ('the draft Regulations') would amend the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013. This would enable the execution and enforcement of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2015/1375, laying down specific rules on official controls for Trichinella in meat ('the new Commission Regulation').
The new Regulation would introduce minor changes to the specific rules on official controls for Trichinella in meat and a codification that creates a single consolidated Regulation incorporating all previous amendments, including the changes that were previously introduced to provide clarity to the legislation and avoid misinterpretation.
What is the purpose of this consultation?
To inform interested parties of the introduction of the changes to the official controls for Trichinella in meat. We are also seeking views on the new flexibilities provided for in the new Commission Regulation and to also provide interested parties with the opportunity to comment on the proposed Food Safety and Hygiene (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2016.
