# Meat preparation establishments approved in the UK — the register — approval-number

> 1,594 establishments have held approval as a meat preparation establishment since 2020; 965 still do.

## Approved meat preparation establishments

1,594 establishments have appeared on the register as a meat preparation establishment since January 2020 — the 3rd most common of the 20 approved activities. 965 are still there.

### What this approval covers

Section V — meat preparations: seasoned, marinated, shaped. 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?

1,594 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.
