Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Contaminants in Food (Wales) Regulations 2009 (“the Principal Regulations”) revoke and re-enact with changes the Contaminants in Food (Wales) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/840 (W.73), as amended).
The Principal Regulations make provision for the execution and enforcement of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1881/2006 setting maximum permitted levels (“MPLs”) for contaminants in foodstuffs (OJ No. L364, 20.12.2006, p.5).
They also provide for the execution and enforcement of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 124/2009 (OJ No. L40, 11.2.2009, p.7) concerning MPLs for certain feed additives that may in specified circumstances occur in food.
These Regulations amend regulation 2(1) of the Principal Regulations to correct a typographical error in the Welsh text.

Functions of the National Assembly for Wales are now vested in the Welsh Ministers by virtue of paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
