(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Processed Cereal-based Foods and Baby Foods for Infants and Young Children Regulations 1997 in relation to Wales, in implementation of Commission Directive 1999/39/EC amending Directive 96/5/EC on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young children.
The regulations extend the prohibitions on manufacture and sale in the 1997 Regulations to food of that nature containing individual pesticide residues above a level of 0.01 mg/kg, measured when ready for use or when reconstituted according to manufacturer’s instructions (regulation 2(b)), and bring the reference to the 1996 Directive up to date (regulation 2(a)).
A regulatory appraisal for these Regulations has been prepared pursuant to section 65 of the Government of Wales Act 1998 and placed in the library of the National Assembly for Wales. Copies may be obtained from the Food Standards Agency, 1st Floor, Southgate House, Cardiff CF10 1EW
