The Specific Food Hygiene (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (“the instrument”) is being made to fix the inoperabilities of retained EU legislation which arise as a consequence of the UK’s exit from the European Union. The instrument fixes the inoperabilities of Regulation (EC) No. 853/2004 that lays down specific hygiene measures for the production and processing of certain food products of animal origin and Regulation (EC) No. 854/2004 that lays down the corresponding official controls. The instrument also fixes the inoperabilities of Regulation (EU) No. 101/2013, Regulation (EU) No. 2015/1474, and Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1978, which either provide additional requirements for specific hygiene purposes or amend existing requirements. This instrument revokes Regulation (EU) No. 636/2014 concerning unskinned large wild game.
