Anyone who supplies fresh or frozen beef or veal must comply with the regulations on traceability and beef labelling.
Premises licensed to slaughter cattle and/or cut beef by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) - abattoirs, cutting plants or catering butchers - are inspected by the Rural Payments Agency (RPA).
Other premises (eg most cold stores, repackaging centres, butchers’ shops, mobile shops, market stalls, supermarkets or farm shops) are inspected by local authorities.
