These Regulations amend the Bread and Flour Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/141) (“the 1998 Regulations”).
Regulation 3(2) introduces definitions of “common wheat” and “wholemeal flour” to the 1998 Regulations.
Regulation 3(3) and (7) make changes to the essential ingredients of flour in Schedule 1 to the 1998 Regulations to provide for the mandatory addition of folic acid and changes to the required quantities of calcium carbonate, iron and niacin. There are exemptions provided for wholemeal flour and flour produced by a small mill.
Regulation 3(4), (5), and (8) revoke regulation 7 and substitute regulation 10 of the 1998 Regulations in relation to offences and penalties and the application and modification of certain sections of the Food Safety Act 1990 (c.16). Provision is made for the application and modification of certain sections of that Act as set out in a new Schedule 5 to the 1998 Regulations to provide for enforcement by way of improvement notices and for the offence of failing to comply with an improvement notice.
Regulation 3(6) makes transitional provision to enable stocks lawfully placed on the market or labelled before 13th December 2026 to continue to be sold until exhausted.
