Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula Regulations 1995 in relation to Scotland only, in implementation of Commission Directive 1999/50/EC which amends Commission Directive 91/321/EEC on infant formulae and follow-on formulae.
These Regulations extend the compositional requirements for such formulae in the 1995 Regulations by adding a requirement that they must not contain individual pesticide residues above a level of 0.01 mg/kg, measured when ready for use or when reconstituted according to the manufacturer’s instructions (regulation 2(b)).
Consequential amendments are made by regulation 2(a).
