    6.4 Manufacturing Site Registration

    According to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 [1], a manufacturing license is required for manufacturing sites handling unprocessed animal-origin ingredients, because considered an establishment subject to approval. A manufacturing site handling only processed ingredients of animal origin and ingredients of plant origin is not required to be approved by the EU for importing food to the EU.

    All processed ingredients of animal origin (e.g. egg, dairy, meat, honey...) contained in the composite products, must come from EU-approved establishments located in countries authorized to export such processed products of animal origin to the EU. Please refer to section "8. Safety Parameters" for further details.

    An export health certificate (EHC) is an official document that confirms one’ export meets the health requirements of the destination country. FBO must apply for an EHC if it is exporting or moving live animals or animal products from GB (England, Scotland, and Wales) to, or through:

    1. The EU
    2. Non-EU Countries
    3. Northern Ireland

    A transit EHC is also needed to transit through an EU country. A transit EHC may be needed to transit through a non-EU country. Check with the competent authority (the equivalent of Defra) in that country.

    An EHC is needed for each:

    • Type of animal or animal product being exported from Great Britain
    • Product type - if the exported consignment includes a mix of products
