Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Bovine Offal (Prohibition) (Scotland) Regulations 1990.

The Regulations amend the definition of “stained” by requiring a different colour stain to be used to identify specified bovine offal (regulation 2(a)(iv)).

The other amendments made by these Regulations transfer enforcement powers in relation to slaughterhouses and specialised boning plants to the Secretary of State and correct a drafting error in the principal Regulations as amended by the Food Safety Act 1990 (Consequential Modifications) (Scotland) Order 1990 (S.I. 1990/2625).
