Food Chain Information Declaration

From 1st January 2010 new legislation comes into force requiring slaughterhouse operators to receive, check and act upon food chain information. This forms part of a whole chain farm to fork approach to the management of food safety. To comply with these new requirements we have modified our movement documents for all classes of stock coming to market to include the necessary declarations on food chain information.
