EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make provision in relation to bread and flour that is to be sold in, or imported or moved into, Wales. These Regulations revoke and replace (with amendments) the Bread and Flour Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/141) insofar as those regulations apply in relation to Wales.
Regulation 3 and Schedules 1 to 3 make provision in relation to essential ingredients for flour derived from common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), whether or not mixed with other flour.
Regulation 3(2) and (3) prohibits the sale by persons producing flour in the course of a business, and the import or movement into Wales by persons acting in the course of a business and subsequent sale by them, of flour derived from common wheat that does not comply with the mandatory fortification requirements.
The mandatory fortification requirements for flour derived from common wheat are prescribed by regulation 3(4), and Schedules 1 to 3.
Schedule 1, paragraph 1, provides that flour derived from common wheat must be fortified with specified amounts of the prescribed forms of calcium carbonate and folic acid. There are specific and limited exceptions to the calcium carbonate fortification requirement. The folic acid fortification requirement applies from 13 December 2026.
Schedule 1, paragraph 2(1), provides that flour derived from common wheat must contain minimum levels of iron, niacin and thiamin. Paragraph 2(2) makes provision in relation to the addition of prescribed forms of those substances where fortification is required to meet the minimum levels.
Schedule 2 contains the specification for the permitted form of calcium carbonate.
Schedule 3 contains the specification for one of the permitted forms of iron (iron powder).
Specific exemptions from the mandatory fortification requirements for wholemeal flour, flour produced by small mills, and flour for use in certain specified products, are set out in regulation 3(5). See also regulations 6 and 7 for applicable general exemptions.
Regulation 4 prohibits the use (by any person) of flour bleaching agents as food additives in the preparation of bread or flour (subject to the general exemptions in regulations 6 and 7).
Regulation 5 imposes requirements on the use, as part of the name of bread (in the sale, advertising or labelling of the bread), of the terms “wholemeal” and “gwenith cyflawn”, “wheat germ” and “bywyn gwenith”, and equivalents to those terms in other languages (subject to the general exemptions in regulations 6 and 7).
Regulations 6 and 7 contain general exemptions from regulations 3 to 5 for bread and flour produced for the following exempted uses—
- bread or flour that is not for human consumption;
- bread or flour that is for export to a third country, or for use in the production of food that is for export to a third country.
Regulation 8 prohibits the use, by businesses in the production of food, of bread and flour that is exempted by regulations 3(5)(c), 3(5)(d), 6 or 7 other than for the exempted uses.
Regulation 9 specifies that food authorities in Wales are responsible for the enforcement of the Regulations in their areas.
Regulation 10 makes provision for authorised officers of the food authorities to use improvement notices to enforce the requirements of the Regulations.
Regulation 11 provides that a failure to comply with an improvement notice is a criminal offence.
Regulation 12 provides for appeal to a magistrates’ court against an improvement notice.
Regulation 13 applies (with modifications) the following provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 to these Regulations—
- section 3 – the presumption that food is intended for human consumption;
- section 20, to enable proceedings for an offence under regulation 11 to be taken against a person other than the person who has failed to comply with an improvement notice, where the failure to comply is due to the act or default of that other person;
- section 21(1) and (5), to provide for a defence of due diligence;
- section 30(8), to provide for certificates as to the results of analysis of a sample to be accepted, in enforcement proceedings under these Regulations, as evidence of the facts stated in the certificate;
- sections 33 and 35(1) and (2), to make it an offence to intentionally obstruct persons acting in execution of these Regulations, or to fail to give such persons assistance or information when reasonably required to do so, or to give false or misleading information;
- sections 36 and 36A, as to how the offences apply to bodies corporate etc;
- section 44, to provide protection for authorised officers of food authorities acting in good faith in the enforcement of these Regulations;
- section 50, to apply requirements as to proper issuing of an improvement notice, and the date on which a notice is issued where that notice has been issued by post.
Regulation 14 revokes, in relation to Wales, the Bread and Flour Regulations 1998.
Regulation 15 makes transitional provision that has effect until the end of 12 December 2026, to enable flour to continue to be produced and placed on the market in Wales during the transitional period, in compliance with any of the fortification requirements of the Bread and Flour Regulations 1998 as they applied immediately before these Regulations came into force.
Regulation 16 makes further transitional provision that takes effect from 13 December 2026 – the date that the folic acid fortification requirement comes into force. The provision enables stocks of bread and flour lawfully placed on the market or labelled before that date to continue to be marketed until the stocks are exhausted.
