Regulation 29 Prohibition of possession of specified bovine offal
No person shall have in his possession any specified bovine offal to which the provisions of Part II apply and which has been removed from a slaughterhouse, knacker’s yard, dead stock collection centre or other place referred to in regulation 15 unless it has been sterilised.
The prohibition on possession imposed by paragraph (1) above shall not apply in the case of any specified bovine offal which is in possession of any person–
during transit to, or
at,
a destination to which it is authorised to be sent unsterilised under these Regulations, provided that, if so required by these Regulations, it has been stained.
It shall be a defence for any person charged with a contravention of this regulation to prove that he did not know, and could not with reasonable diligence have ascertained, that the item involved was an item to which the provisions referred to in paragraph (1) above applied.
