Many businesses are still unaware that waste cooking oil from catering premises can no longer be used as an ingredient in animal feed. Waste cooking oils from food manufacturing, and fresh or unused cooking oil, can continue to be used in animal feed.
This change was introduced last year as a measure to safeguard animal health and the subsequent food chain under the Animal By-Products Regulation EC 1774/2002 (ABPR) which applies across Europe, including the UK
If you produce waste cooking oil as part of your catering business, (for example as a chip shop or other takeaway outlet or restaurant), then you must ensure that it is stored properly, that none is allowed to spill and that it is collected by an authorised collector who will take your waste to an authorised site for recovery or disposal. Inspectors will discuss issues concerned with waste food oil with you during routine inspections.
We have produced an informative leaflet on waste food oil available to download from our downloads page, or you can contact the Food Office and ask for a copy to be posted to you. Our full contact details can be found below. The leaflet contains a helpful list of questions and answers on the subject.
