Abstract

Persons who acquire milk for the preparation of heat-treated drinking milk or for processing into milk-based products shall maintain a register of the holdings on which such milk is produced (reg. 6). Production holdings shall be registered in accordance with regulation 7. Every proprietor or person in charge of a registered milk production holding shall have the milking animals on the holding inspected and certified, at such intervals as the Minister shall specify, by a veterinary surgeon (reg. 9). The Minister shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained a register of all approved milk treatment establishments and approved milk-processing establishments pursuant to regulation 12. Regulation concerns approval of such establishments. Each approved establishment shall be assigned a health mark in accordance with regulation 14.
