thats because the egg guy only comes up once every two years. you should have been seen by the animal health person at SIC. you would have sailed through it anyway. are you sticking with the farmers market and gate sales.

I was told there was now a very nice lady officer in Lerwick! must have misheard. Yes I am still doing the Farmers Markets, as my OH runs the local one with a friend I have no excuse.Gate sales are doing well at the moment, must be the weather.

I'm going to be brave and apply as a producer and packing unit! Ive filled in the form to be registered as a food producer with the local council!
I've only to buy a candler, stamp and scales. Probably cost about £150.
It's the inspections I hate, with all their ratios!
Watch this space!

don't worry they are only there to help. the egg guy was getting worked up because nobody was supplying the info that you get on the inside of a commerical egg box. shame that there is no easy way of doing it.

Inspection to follow later this year!

As a registered packing station, does that mean you can process eggs from other registered producers?

yes if they are a registered producer. your paperwork becomes a bit more complicated.

Well done, Leigh

I registered as afood producer last year when I set up the business proper. But I only sell eggs direct to folk so I was inspected last week by the EHO. She said we were fine and that we'd get a questionnaire in three years or so.
