Brains!

[Sharpie]

Scrapie is a fatal brain disease (TSE) of sheep and goats but is not known to pose a risk to human health.

Now you are just messing about.

If the wording was "is known not to pose a risk to human health" you might have a point.

Besides, sheep heads and spinal cords are being removed and destroyed within UK and Europe just in case. And there are no plans to stop doing this.

No, not messing about in the least. If something's not known to be a risk, particularly when there are veritable legions of scientists on the case and have been for a generation... I do not know it to be a risk.

And... I much, much more than have a point. I happen to be intimate with the facts on this topic.

The Primary Producer exemption only allows you to sell primary product, in the fur.

Cutting it up and shrink wrapping is not part of this exemption.

I think you might be meaning the Hunter Exemption, which does allow you to process small quantities, for direct sale to local retailers, provided you are also registered as a food business, premises are inspected, you keep traceability records etc.

Ok. Primary producer using the hunter exemption sorry I got my terms confused, I should have checked in case of SD pedantry! yes I am a registered food business etc etc.

I am still curious on your source where you said I would be prohibited from selling deer brains or offal, last time i checked i wasn't asking about cattle or sheep.

I never said that.

Read my post #53 again, first 2 paragraphs.

I merely expressed caution and suggested you check it out yourself.

But I don't think there is likely to be any problem in what you are doing.

Primary producer exemption + Hunter exemption, assuming you are selling to restaurant using Retailer exemption bypasses a lot of bureaucracy.

Well I found out what they are wanted for, due to the unavailability of cattle and sheep brains! Apparently there is still a demand for brain in specialist restaurants and they are investigating other sources.
