Paragraph 3

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Not more than one hour shall elapse between the removal of the meat from a refrigerated environment for mincing and the production and chilling or deep-freezing of the minced meat, during which time the internal temperature of the meat shall not exceed 7°C and the temperature of the production area shall not exceed 12°C, save that a longer period shall be permitted where the addition of salt so justifies on technical grounds and there is no risk to public heath.
