8. A transitional slaughterhouse permit allows the permit holder to slaughter only

(1)  animals whose meat is intended exclusively to be sold at retail in the permit holder’s meat preparation plant; and

(2)  animals belonging to a customer of the slaughterhouse and whose meat is for the customers’ personal consumption.

The permit allows the permit holder to operate only one plant where meat or meat products are prepared for the exclusive purpose of retail sale in that plant or the slaughterhouse customers’ personal consumption. The meat or meat products prepared must be

(1)  derived from animals slaughtered in the permit holder’s slaughterhouse;

(2)  derived from animals slaughtered in a slaughterhouse referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 9 of the Food Products Act (chapter P-29) or in a slaughterhouse in respect of which the operator holds a license to operate a registered establishment issued under the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990 (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1970, chapter M-7; SOR/90-288 Canada Gazette Part II, 2090); or

(3)  derived from game held in accordance with the Act respecting the conservation and development of wildlife (chapter C-61.1) and prepared solely for the slaughterhouse customers’ personal consumption.

Only meat or meat products derived from animals described in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of the second paragraph may be sold by the permit holder.

The permit holder may, after obtaining authorization from the Minister, use such meat or meat products in one place or vehicle in which the permit holder carries on business as a restaurateur.
