Part 3: Food and Feed Produced from Precision Bred Organisms 30: Interpretation of Part 3
This section sets out definitions and clarifications used in association with Part 3.
	Subsection (1) provides definitions of terms that are used in Part 3 of the Act. These terms are frequently used across food legislation, both in retained EU law and domestic food law. Definitions of key terms including ‘food’ and ‘feed’ are aligned with the definitions in retained Regulation (EC) 178/2002, which is the main piece of retained direct principal EU legislation governing the regulation of food in England.
	Subsection (2) outlines that products in Part 3 are defined as being produced from precision bred organisms if they contain or consist of the whole or parts of a precision bred organism.
	Subsection (3) outlines that ‘placing on the market’ means the holding of food or feed for the purpose of sale- including offering for sale or any other form of transfer whether free of charge or not- and the sale, distribution, and other forms of transfer themselves, in line with Article 3(8) of retained Regulation (EC) 178/2002. The term "placing on the market" is defined broadly in retained EU food law to extend to the holding of the food and feed for the purpose of the sale.
