The Food for Specific Groups (Information and Compositional Requirements) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2019
These Regulations make provision to enforce, in England, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128 supplementing Regulation (EU) No. 609/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the specific information and compositional requirements for food for special medical purposes (“the Delegated Regulation”). They do this by amending the Food for Specific Groups (Information and Compositional Requirements) (England) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/688) (“the 2016 Regulations”), which make provision to enforce the requirements of Regulation (EU) No. 609/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the provisions of food intended for infants and young children, food for special medical purposes, and total diet replacement for weight control (“the EU Regulation”). The EU Regulation sets out the general information and compositional requirements for certain categories of food and the 2016 Regulations provide for the enforcement of those requirements by applying, with modifications, certain provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990. The Delegated Regulation sets out the specific information and compositional requirements for food for special medical purposes.
