Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/627 laying down uniform practical arrangements for the performance of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 as regards official controls.

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration has decided for 11 establishments to increase the thresholds laid down to allow slaughterhouses/game-handling establishments to use more relaxed rules, cf. the provision in Article 13(2) in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/627 laying down uniform practical arrangements for the performance of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 as regards official controls.

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration has identified the establishments as low-capacity establishments on the basis of a risk analysis and based on the fact that slaughter/game-handling in the establishments only takes place during part of the working day or throughout the working day, but not for all the days of the week. The establishments meet the conditions requiring that their total production not exceed 5% of the total production of fresh meat in Denmark.

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration focused in particular on whether these establishments have the necessary facilities and equipment and appropriate arrangements to avoid food safety being compromised at any point, even if the PM control by the state veterinary surgeon is delayed by up to 24 hours.

This relates to the following establishments:

1. Authorisation number 804, Svendborg Slagtehus A/S, Porthusvej 75, 5700 Svendborg
