Trader Notice MH 14/2013

To: All Food Business Operators Subject: New health certificate for the export of sheepmeat and sheepmeat products to Canada

Introduction This is to inform you that agreement has been reached with the Canadian authorities on the text of an official meat inspection certificate for the export of sheepmeat and sheepmeat products from Ireland to Canada. The text of the agreed certificate is contained in Annex 1 to this trader notice.

Approval of plants We have asked the Canadian authorities to include all active DAFM-approved sheep slaughter plants and commercial cold stores in the list of establishments eligible to export sheep meat to Canada. The complete list of plants approved to export to Canada is given in Annex 2.

Role of FBO Any FBO intending to export sheepmeat to Canada must draw up an SOP beforehand, to be approved by the responsible official veterinarian of this Department, which demonstrates how they intend to produce sheepmeat that complies with the Canadian requirements.

The revised veterinary health certificate will be made available to Veterinary Inspectors at the eligible plants through the usual channels, on request.
