Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, implement Commission Directive 2006/33/EC amending Directive 95/45/EC as regards sunset yellow FCF (E 110) and titanium dioxide (E 171).
They do so by updating the definition of “Directive 95/45/EC” in regulation 2(1) of the Colours in Food Regulations 1995, to reflect the amendment made to that Directive by Commission Directive 2006/33/EC (regulation 2).
Commission Directive 2006/33/EC amends Commission Directive 95/45/EC by substituting revised purity criteria for the colours sunset yellow FCF (E 110) and titanium dioxide (E 171).
No regulatory impact assessment has been prepared to accompany these Regulations, as they will not impose any costs on business.
