There are certainly very strict hygiene requirements. I don't know if it's outright banned, though.

Not all types of meat are allowed or considered to be safe eat raw. As far as I know beef and lamb are the only ones.
I think there are many grades of meat rawness.
Raw or Tartare steak is raw...then there is next level, don't remember the name. Only after that comes rare steak. Rare steak is allowed to be served in the UK, this grade of rawness is presumably safe and only if it is beef or lamb.

The "rawest" grade of steak you can order in a good restaurant is "blue". That's where it's seared on the outside, but raw inside. Many restaurants won't serve steak "blue" though, again because of the hygiene risks.
