Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Contamination of Feeding Stuff) (England) (No.3) Order 1989 (“the principal Order”) which contains emergency prohibitions restricting various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food rendered unsuitable for that purpose in consequence of the escape of lead into imported animal feeding stuff.
The Order removes certain farms, holdings and premises from the designated area within which certain activities are prohibited by the principal Order (Article 2(a) and Schedule 1). The Order also designates further farms, holdings and premises (Article 2(b) and Schedule 2). Movement of cattle and food from any of these areas is controlled by the principal Order which also imposes certain other restrictions throughout the United Kingdom.
