(b) for premises in which unpackaged meat products are assembled for despatch elsewhere, the appropriate conditions in paragraph 1 of Part VII of Schedule 2.
2 (a) The British EC health mark or the British national health mark must be applied to meat products at a rewrapping centre if the mark applied at the production establishment is removed or destroyed.

(c) The British EC health mark or British national health mark must be applied to unpackaged meat products which have been stored under refrigerated conditions in a rewrapping centre. It shall be affixed to the last packaging applied at the centre, where such a last packaging is applied; and for the purposes of this Schedule “last packaging” means the final container or covering enclosing the meat products.
3 Occupiers of rewrapping centres must maintain adequate records so that an authorised officer of the enforcement authority may trace a rewrapped meat product back to its production establishment.
