FOOD, WALES

The Food for Particular Nutritional Uses (Addition of Substances for Specific Nutritional Purposes) (Wales) Regulations 2009

Made

Laid before the National Assembly for Wales

Coming into force

The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 16(1)(e), 17(2), 26(1)(a) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 19901 and now vested in them2.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 19723 and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for any reference to the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 953/2009 on substances that may be added for specific nutritional purposes in foods for particular nutritional uses4 to be construed as a reference to that Annex as amended from time to time.

In accordance with section 48(4A) of the Food Safety Act 1990, the Welsh Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.

As required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety5 there has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation and evaluation of these Regulations.
