The Processed Animal Protein Order 1989

Duty to prevent movement of contaminated processed animal protein and incorporation of such animal protein in a feeding stuff

7.  It shall be the duty of a Registered person who knows that a test carried out on a sample taken from the processed animal protein produced on premises in respect of which his name is entered on the Register has resulted in the isolation of salmonella from that sample, to ensure that during the period of one month from the date on which he becomes aware of such result–

(a) no processed animal protein produced on those premises is removed from any premises occupied by him or under his control; and

(b) no such processed animal protein which remains under his control is incorporated in a feeding stuff for livestock or poultry,

unless–

(i) such processed animal protein is not taken from the same storage facility as that used to store the processed animal protein from which the sample was taken, or

(ii) such processed animal protein is treated in such manner as to ensure freedom from salmonella and a test carried out by a laboratory in accordance with either of the methods set out in Part II of Schedule 1 to this Order on a sample taken from the processed animal protein so treated does not result in the isolation of salmonella from that sample, or

(iii) under the authority or a licence issued by an authorised officer and in accordance with the conditions, if any, of that licence.
