  "short_title": "Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning) 1993",
  "long_title": "This Order contains emergency prohibitions restricting various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food rendered unsuitable for that purpose by virtue of shellfish having been affected by the toxin which causes Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning in human beings. The Order designates an area within which taking scallops of the class of Pecten Maximus, razor clams and oysters is prohibited (articles 3 and 4 and the Schedule). It prohibits the movement of such scallops, razor clams and oysters out of that area (article 5). Other restrictions are imposed throughout the United Kingdom in relation to the use of any such scallops, razor clams and oysters taken from that area. Emergency prohibitions have already been imposed on Queen Scallops (Chlamys Opercularis) and mussels (Mytilus Edulis) from within that area by the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning) Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/1338).",
