Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order further amends the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Contamination of Feeding Stuff) (England) (No.3) Order 1989 (“the principal Order”) which contains emergency prohibitions restricting various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food rendered unsuitable for that purpose in consequence of the escape of lead into imported animal feeding stuff.

The Order removes certain farms, holdings and premises from the designated area in relation to which certain activities are prohibited by the principal Order (Article 4(b) and Schedule 1). The Order also designates further farms, holdings and premises (Articles 4(c) and Schedule 2).

The Order brings sheep and goats from a limited number of farms, holdings and other premises and certain things derived from such sheep and goats within the scope of the controls imposed by articles 4 to 6 of the principal Order (Articles 3 and 4(d) and Schedule 3).
