The European Union has updated its hygiene regulations for foods of animal origin with significant changes effective from December 14, 2023, as outlined in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1141. These updates include the introduction of the EU marking to replace the CE marking on animal products, specific conditions for the dry maturation of beef with a maximum of 35 days, and the inclusion of sheep and goats in the on-farm slaughter category under certain conditions. Additionally, the regulation addresses the authorization of mobile slaughterhouses, clarifies animal health identification marks, and introduces more flexible transport conditions for partially refrigerated carcasses. It also specifies new transport regulations, limiting journeys to three slaughterhouses or a direct cold storage warehouse, with strict time and temperature conditions for the transport of carcasses. Operators are given until December 31, 2028, to adapt to the new marking requirements and 6 months to comply with matured meat regulations, ensuring a transitional period for adaptation.
