Approved producing plants
9 establishments have appeared on the register as a producing plant since January 2020 — the 20th most common of the 20 approved activities. 6 are still there.
What this approval covers
Production of products of animal origin. 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.
