Abstract

Technical Regulation “Meat – raw materials. Production, import and trade” establishes mandatory requirements for food quality, food security, presentation, labelling and information for consumers who, in order to ensure the protection of health, heredity and human safety must be respected in the production, import and/or sale of meat of animals as raw materials of local and imported origin, used for the meat industry and for vending to consumers. The quality and safety standards prescribed in this Technical Regulation do not apply to meat produced in individual farms for own consumption, as well as for transit meat or meat, temporarily stored in the Republic of Moldova in the form of transit cargo, if not poses a threat to human health or the environment. Producers and importers of raw materials (meat), with a view of ensuring traceability of meat and meat-based products, are required to keep records, allowing to identify the product for the period of three years, and submit upon request documentary evidence of compliance with sanitary-veterinary requirements, quality and safety standards prescribed by this Technical Regulation.
