Flexibility built in

Is there flexibility for small businesses or traditional products?

Flexibility in the rules is possible, for example for small businesses, for traditional food production methods and for businesses in isolated areas. This includes flexibility regarding the presence of the veterinarian during post-mortem examination and the content and delivery of food chain information. This flexibility did not exist in previous legislation.

Are there any exemptions from these hygiene rules?

The Regulations shall not apply to primary production for private domestic use nor to the direct supply by the producer of small quantities of primary products to the final consumer or to local retail establishments. For example, apples or eggs sold directly at the farm gate or in local retail shops are not covered by the Regulations.
