These Regulations, which amend the Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995, as amended, implement Commission Directive 2003/14/EC amending Directive 91/321/EEC on infant formulae and follow-on formulae.
In implementation of Directive 2003/14/EC the Regulations –
(a)prohibit the sale, or export to third countries, of infant formulae or follow-on formulae containing pesticide residues above certain levels, such levels being dependent on the pesticide in question (regulations 4, 5, 7 and 9 and the Schedule); and
(b)make some consequential amendments (regulations 3 and 6).
In implementation of the final sentence of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/321/EEC as substituted by Commission Directive 1999/50/EC, provision is made as to analytical methods for determining levels of pesticide residues (regulation 7).
The Regulations also amend the provision applying various provisions of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (regulation 8).
