27th September 1994

These Regulations amend the Bovine Offal (Prohibition) (Scotland) Regulations 1990 ("the principal Regulations").

The controls under the principal Regulations applied to the brain, spinal cord, spleen, thymus, tonsils and intestines of any bovine animal slaughtered in the United Kingdom and which was over six months old at the time of such slaughter.

The Regulations amend the principal Regulations so as to extend the controls on specified bovine offal (defined in the Regulations) to include the thymus and intestines of all bovine animals, except those of animals under two months of age which have died (rather than have been slaughtered) (regulation 2(2) and (3)).
