• For the production of composite products, Reg. (EC) No 853/2004 does not cover it directly, because
• ingredients of animal origin are controlled under Reg. (EC) No 852/2004, and
• processed products of animal origin are obtained and handled in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004

• For the import of composite products, in accordance with Dec 2007/275/EC composite products are subject to controls at the BIPs, if they contain meat products, dairy/fish/eggs >50%, or if they require refrigeration.
