(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations, which amend the Food Labelling Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996, as amended, (“the 1996 Regulations”), implement Commission Directive 2002/67/EC on the labelling of foodstuffs containing quinine, and of foodstuffs containing caffeine. Directive 2002/67/EC has to be read with Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs. These Regulations require information to be given –
(a)in the ingredients list of foods as to the presence of any quinine or caffeine added or used as a flavouring (regulation 5);
(b)on the labelling or marking of drinks containing a high level of caffeine, with some exceptions (regulation 6).
These requirements apply with effect from 1st July 2004 (regulation 1). The Regulations contain a transitional provision (regulation 7).
The Regulations also update various references in the 1996 Regulations and in the Genetically Modified and Novel Foods (Labelling) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000 to Council Directive 79/112/EEC, which was consolidated by Directive 2000/13/EC, as amended (regulations 3, 4 and 8).
