Food Premises Approval
Why do I need approval under EC Regulation 853/2004
If you operate a certain type of food premises you may need to be approved the Council. Examples include meat processing plants, dairy establishments, shellfish and fishery products establishments, egg and egg product establishments, and some cold stores.
How do I apply?
Approval under EC Regulation 853/2004 is different from registration.
Before you apply for approval, please contact The Health Protection Team as below to discuss whether what you want to do needs prior approval, or whether you just need to register as a food business.
