Article 8 Meat from suspect or infected premises

Any person in possession of meat from a restricted animal or restricted poultry originating from suspect premises on or after the relevant date, or meat that has come into contact with such meat, must detain that meat until those premises are no longer suspect premises.

Paragraph (1) only applies if the person in possession of the meat is aware or should reasonably have been aware that the meat is from a restricted animal or restricted poultry originating from suspect premises on or after the relevant date, or is meat that has come into contact with such meat.

Any person in possession of meat from a restricted animal or restricted poultry originating from infected premises on or after the relevant date, or meat that has come into contact with such meat, must destroy that meat without delay.

In this article “relevant date” means the date the suspect or infected premises became subject to disease restrictions, or an earlier date where the Scottish Ministers specify such a date for disease control purposes.
