Explanatory note

These Regulations extend to Scotland only. They further amend the Food Labelling Regulations 1996 (“the principal regulations”) which extend to the whole of Great Britain. These Regulations implement Commission Directive No. 2007/68/EC (O.J. No. L 310, 28.11.2007, p.11) amending Annex IIIa of Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council listing the ingredients which must under all circumstances appear on the labelling of foodstuffs. The ingredients in question are those that are likely to cause an allergic reaction in some consumers. These Regulations amend the principal regulations in respect of the labelling requirements for foods containing allergenic ingredients, including labelling exemptions for certain processed forms of those ingredients, provide a transitional period for foods that are marked, labelled or sold before 31st May 2009 and make various other minor and consequential amendments. A full Regulatory Impact Assessment of the effect that these Regulations are likely to have on business costs has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
