SCOPE

The Code of Practice applies initially to fresh and frozen, pork, bacon, gammon, ham, sausages and pork pies. Once established it is planned to extend coverage of the Code to other processed products where pork is an important constituent.

This Code of Practice applies to retail labels used on pre-packed or loose pork and pork products.  It also applies to the use of the terms in foodservice.
