Written answers

All premises used for the storage of meat and bone meal are subject to approval by my Department and are under the supervision of my Department's veterinary inspectorate. The conditions which must be met for approval of such stores are set out in EU Regulation 1774/2002 which lays down the health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption. To date, there are 45 such stores being used for the storage of meat and bone meal throughout the country.
