Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amendment) Order (Northern Ireland) 1998
This Order further amends the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) Order (Northern Ireland) 1991 (the ‘principal order') which contains emergency prohibitions on various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food which is derived from sheep in the designated areas in Northern Ireland and which has been or may have been rendered unsuitable for human consumption in consequence of the elevated levels of radioactivity found in those areas following the escape of radioactive substances from a nuclear reactor situated at Chernobyl in the Ukraine.
