The Food (Suspension of the use of E 128 Red 2G as Food Colour) (Wales) (No.2) Regulations 2007

Interpretation

2.—(1) In these Regulations—

“authorised officer” (“swyddog awdurdodedig”), in relation to a food authority, means any person (whether or not an officer of the authority) who is authorised by it in writing, either generally or specially, to act in matters arising under these Regulations;

“the Commission Regulation” (“rheoliad y Comisiwn”) means Commission Regulation (EC) No. 884/2007 on emergency measures suspending the use of E 128 Red 2G as food colour;

“food authority” (“awdurdod bwyd”)(1) has the meaning that it bears by virtue of section 5(1A) of the Food Safety Act 1990(2).

(2) Where any functions under the Food Safety Act 1990 are assigned—

(a) by an order under section 2 of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984(3), to a port health authority; or

(b) by an order under section 6 of the Public Health Act 1936(4), to a joint board for a united district,

any reference in these Regulations to a food authority shall be construed, so far as relating to those functions, as a reference to the authority to whom they are so assigned.

(3) In these Regulations any reference to the Commission Regulation is a reference to the Commission Regulation as amended from time to time.
