The Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) (Butchers' Shops) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2000
These Regulations which extend only to Scotland further amend the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995 (“the general Regulations”) by introducing a requirement for the premises of butcher’s shops to be licensed by food authorities. Butcher’s shops for these purposes are fixed or moveable premises in which unwrapped raw meat is handled and from which both raw meat and ready to eat food are sold to consumers (See the definition of “butcher’s shop” in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1A).
