Ymgynghoriad
Storage times for chilled meat for mincing and meat preparations: England and Wales
We are seeking views on the possible impact to the meat industry that would be caused by the European Commission’s recent proposal about the storage periods permitted for chilled meat intended for mincing.

About the proposal
The status of the proposal
The chilled storage periods required for meat intended for mincing are contained in Annex III to Commission Regulation No 853/2004. A recent Commission proposal to amend the annex to that Regulation, in respect of the storage periods permitted for chilled meat intended for mincing, has been presently withdrawn. This is because the Commission is seeking additional assurances from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to help inform the original proposal. If EFSA does not raise concerns, the Commission may decide to resume the proposal.
Your views
We are asking industry stakeholders about the possible impact that may arise as a result of the Commission’s proposal. This information will help the FSA to prepare for future discussions with the Commission should it decide to take up the proposal again.
