Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001
These Regulations further amend the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (“the principal Regulations”) by introducing a requirement for the premises of butchers' shops to be licensed by district councils. Butchers' shops for these purposes are fixed or movable premises in which unwrapped 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).
