What this approval covers
Section V — minced meat. 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.
