The Department of Health(1) makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by Articles 15, 25(3) and 47 of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991(2), and in relation to regulation 3(3), (5) and (8), by paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972(3).
The Department of Health, has been designated(4) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to food and drink intended for sale for human consumption, including the presentation, packaging, labelling, marketing and advertising of such food and drink.
The following Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) and it appears to the Department of Health that it is expedient for references to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the provision of food information to consumers(5) mentioned in regulation 2(3) and (5) of these Regulations to be construed as a reference to that Regulation as amended from time to time.
In accordance with Article 47(3A) of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991, the Department of Health has had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.
As required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002(6) of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety, there has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation and evaluation of these Regulations.
