Draft Commission Regulation (EU) amending Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 as regards Salmonella in reptile meat (Text with EEA relevance)

Considering the potential significant health risk posed by the possible presence of Salmonella in reptile meat, a food safety criterion should be laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2017/2005 for reptile meat. This food safety criterion should oblige food business operators to take measures at previous stages of reptile neat production contributing to the reduction of the presence of all serotypes of Salmonella with public health significance.
