<p>Abattoirs require veterinary control and approval by the FSA under Regulation (EC)
853/2004 - a full list of approved establishments can be found <a href="https://data.food.gov.uk/catalog/datasets/1e61736a-2a1a-4c6a-b8b1-e45912ebc8e3"
target="_blank">here</a>. Whilst trends in the level of foreign ownership of abattoirs
in England is not something that we are monitoring specifically, we are aware of and
welcome foreign investment in our meat processing facilities. In particular, there
is significant investment from Irish and Danish businesses in UK processing. Irrespective
of ownership all abattoirs must comply with our high animal welfare and food safety
standards.</p><p> </p>
