The Meat Products (Hygiene) Regulations 1994

6.  The health marking of meat products in palletised consignments intended for further processing or wrapping in approved premises is not necessary provided that:

(a) the consignments containing the meat products bear the health mark on the external surface;

(b) the recipient premises maintain a separate record of the quantities, type and origin of meat products received in accordance with this paragraph;

(c) the destination and intended use of meat products are clearly indicated on the external surface of the outer packaging except when this is transparent.

However, where a consignment of wrapped products is contained in a transparent packaging, it is not necessary to health mark the packaging as long as the British EC health mark or British national health mark on the wrapped products is clearly visible through the packaging.
