41. The local slaughterhouse permit required under subparagraph a.1 of the first paragraph of section 9 of the Food Products Act (chapter P-29) authorizes the permit holder to operate a slaughterhouse and a plant where meat or meat products are prepared for the exclusive purpose of retail sale in that plant, or a slaughterhouse where slaughter services are provided for remuneration and, if applicable, a plant where meat or meat products may be prepared for remuneration for the personal consumption of a customer to whom slaughter services have been provided.

However, the Minister may, on the conditions the Minister determines, authorize the holder of a local slaughterhouse permit to operate a second plant where meat or meat products are prepared for the exclusive purpose of retail sale in that plant or the slaughterhouse customers’ personal consumption.

41. Until 1 July 2014 or any earlier date set by the Government, the conditions for the issue or renewal of a permit required under subparagraph a.1 of the first paragraph of section 9 of the Food Products Act (chapter P-29) and the operational standards that apply to the holder of such a permit are provided for in this chapter.

Despite the first paragraph, the Government may, in view of health and safety or socio-economic factors, make regulations prescribing conditions for the issue or renewal of a permit or operational standards that differ from those prescribed by this chapter.
