About this consultation

Who will this consultation be of most interest to?

Producers and users of animal feedingstuffs in England. Enforcement officers responsible for the enforcement of the Regulations in this sector.

Subject of this consultation

The making of Regulations to transpose into English law the provisions of a revised EU Basic Safety Standards Directive laying down basic safety standards for the protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation as it applies to animal feed. In particular:

  • prohibit the intentional addition of radioactive substances in the production of animal feedingstuffs;
  • prohibit the import or export of animal feedingstuffs to which radioactive substances have been intentionally added during production; and
  • provide the accompanying enforcement powers to deal with non-compliance.

Purpose of this consultation

To give stakeholders the opportunity to comment on the draft Regulations and to ascertain whether our assumption that the introduction of the Regulations will be cost-neutral is correct.
