Approval of food premises
The authority is required to inspect and approve any premises defined as products of animal origin such as meat, dairy, egg or fish product plants under EC derived legislation.
The premises are approved under
- The Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006
- Regulation EC No 853/2004
- Regulation EC No 854/2004
- Regulation EC No 852/2004
Food premises approved under these regulations must meet additional requirements above the general requirements for food premises as they usually involve more high risk operations.
All food premises producing products of animal origin are required to be approved unless exempted. Exemptions are detailed in the Food Law Practice Guidance (England) and are based on the premises being retail or supplying other retailers on a marginal, localised and restricted basis ( see page 108 of Practice Guidance)
This includes a detailed HACCP Plan to ensure the the food business operator is controlling risks at identified critical control points.
