Labelling of Beef and Veal
The Beef and Veal Labelling Regulations 2010
Statutory Instrument 2010 No. 983
A revised Statutory Instrument, The Beef and Veal Labelling Regulations 2010 (S.I. 983/2010) came into force on 1st May 2010 and replaced the Beef and Veal Regulations 2008 (S.I. 3252/2008).
The changes are that they enforce Articles 5a, 5b and 5c of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1825/2000 (regulation 4(1)(b)) and provide rules for the provision of information for un-pre-packed meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less at the point of sale (regulation 4(2)).
They continue to enforce Title II of Regulation (EC) No. 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products and subsidiary Commission Regulations. They also enforce the provisions relating to meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1234/2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets on specific provisions for certain agricultural products as well as the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 566/2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1234/2007 as regards the marketing of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less.
The RPA takes over responsibility for the day-to-day running of the Compulsory Beef Labelling Scheme for England and Wales, and becomes the overall UK lead on policy management of the scheme.
