The European Commission has confirmed it is amending the Animal Health regulations (AHR) to allow businesses to use a private attestation to export shelf-stable composite products containing dairy (but no meat) that has not undergone UHT or sterilisation, so long as the dairy product originates and is processed in a third country listed for the export of dairy to the EU, such as GB.
This is to address the issue that, as currently drafted, the EU model document restricts the treatment of the dairy element of the product to UHT or sterilisation.
As the legislative amendments will not be in place by 21 April 2021, when the new Regulation applies, the Commission has agreed an interim arrangement.
There is further information here in the guidance.
