Food Crime & Incidents

Animal Welfare Breaches (Scotland for Animals)

Request

Your request was about the following information:

‘Would it be possible to please provide details of the number, location and nature of compliance breaches recorded by Food Standards Scotland in relation to animal welfare on abattoir sites for 2017? Could you also please provide details of what action was taken with regards to these?’

Response

The attached documents show some of the information you have requested.

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because exemptions under sections s.39(1) (health and safety), s.34(1)(b) (Investigations by Scottish public authorities and proceedings arising out of such investigations) and s.38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information.
