## Approved collection centres

39 establishments have appeared on the register as a collection centre since January 2020 — the 14th most common of the 20 approved activities. 24 are still there.

### What this approval covers

Section VII — shellfish are gathered here. An establishment carrying out this activity on
products of animal origin must be approved under
**Regulation (EC) 853/2004**, and must apply an identification
mark — the oval — carrying its approval number.

**One establishment, several activities.**
A third of the register holds more than one approval, so this page overlaps
with the others by design. The number in the oval identifies the
*establishment*, not the activity.

### Checking a supplier before you buy?

39 establishments are listed on this page. Being on the register is the legal minimum to place products of animal origin on the market — it is not a recommendation, and this site makes none. Tell us what you are sourcing and we will put the enquiry in front of establishments that are on the register. We are not brokers, we hold no stock, and we take no commission.
