EU initiative: food hygiene – products of animal origin

The EU published its new initiative regarding food hygiene – products of animal origin (updated rules). Food hygiene rules for products of animal origin (Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004) need to be updated in light of experience gained in the practical application of the rules and new scientific advice.

Accordingly, amendments will concern identification marking, including stiffening of fishery products, etc.
