# Processing plants approved in the UK — the register — approval-number

> 4,866 establishments have held approval as a processing plant since 2020; 2,710 still do.

## Approved processing plants

4,866 establishments have appeared on the register as a processing plant since January 2020 — the 1st most common of the 20 approved activities. 2,710 are still there.

### What this approval covers

Section VI and beyond — products are transformed here, not merely stored. 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?

4,866 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.
