Regulation

Animal Welfare

Request

Provide details of non-compliance with animal welfare legislation at approved meat plants in Scotland from 1/1/20 to 1/4/21 including plant number, plant name, date, non-compliance group, species, type, compliance level, description of non-compliance and action taken.

Response

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide the information because an exemption under section 27(1) (Information intended for future publication) of FOISA applies to that information. 

We do currently have most of the information you have requested which is currently published online at the link below.  Under section 25(1) of FOISA, we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you.
