Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996
These Regulations amend the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (“the 1995 Regulations”) so that those Regulations apply to a person carrying on the handling in or sale from any catering establishment or shop premises of ice-cream or heat-treated cream. The 1995 Regulations implement Council Directive 93/43/EEC on the hygiene of foodstuffs (O.J. No. L175, 19.7.93, p. 1), except for the requirements of paragraphs 4 and 5 of Chapter IX of the Annex to that Directive (which relate to temperature controls) and for the requirements in that Directive which relate to imports which are likely to pose a serious risk to human health and which come from countries that are not part of the European Community. They also implement the provisions of Council Directive 80/778/EEC relating to the quality of water intended for human consumption (O.J. No. L229, 30.8.90, p. 11) which relates to the use of water for food production purposes.
