In this section you will find lists of meat establishments that are approved to slaughter and/or cut meat.
These are as follows:
The meat establishments listed below are subject to Regulations (EC) 852/2004 and (EC) 853/2004 and must be approved by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in order to operate, unless they meet the exemption criteria in Regulation (EC) 853/2004:
These establishments are subject to official controls enforced and executed by the Meat Hygiene Serivce (MHS). The MHS is an executive Agency of the Food Standards Agency.
