Animal Products Act 1999

Risk management programmes

11: Object of this Part

You could also call this:

"Keeping animal products safe for you to use"

The object of this part of the law is to make sure animal products are safe for you to use. This is done by having companies follow a registered risk management programme when they produce and process animal materials and products. You can think of a risk management programme as a plan that helps companies reduce risks and make sure their products are safe, and this plan is checked by independent people to ensure it is working correctly.
