a

state the officer’s grounds for believing that the person is failing to comply or, as the case may be, that the food does not comply with the specified EU law requirement;

b

specify the matters which constitute the failure to comply;

c

specify the measures which, in the officer’s opinion, the person must take in order to secure compliance; and

d

require the person to take those measures, or such measures that are at least equivalent to them, within such period as may be specified in the notice.
