That Order contains emergency prohibitions restricting various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food which is derived from sheep in certain designated areas, and which has been, or may have been rendered unsuitable for that purpose in consequence of the escape of radioactive substances from a nuclear reactor situated at Chernobyl in the Ukraine. The effect of this Order is to remove the emergency prohibitions from the remaining areas which are subject to restriction. 2 A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the Food Safety Group of the Food Standards Agency, Aviation House, 125 Kingsway, London WC2B 6NH and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available at www.legislation.gov.uk. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/2658 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/food-protection-emergency-prohibitions-radioactivity-in-sheep-england-revocation-order-2012 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
