Some food businesses manufacturing foods from raw (unprocessed) ingredients such as raw meat, unpasteurised milk and raw fish may require approval especially if they do not sell them to the final consumer. If your business sells such products to other supermarkets, catering premises or other shops you may require approval to to this. The approval criteria is somewhat complex and it would be advisable in the first instance to speak to an officer of the Consumer Protection Unit to identify if you need approval. If you process meat (mincing or cutting primal joints) for caterers or other such institutions you may also require approval.

 

The approval criteria are higher than that for normal food business and there are requirements on businesses for an increased level of documentation and controls. The additional requirements then allow your business to sell throughout the UK and export your products to Europe once approved. 

 

For further information please contact an Environmental Health Officer on 01653 600666 ext 249, 254, or 359 or email fshs.admin@ryedale.gov.uk.
