EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
1.
These Regulations
further
amend the
Food
Labelling Regulations 1996 in so
far
as they apply in relation to
Wales.
The 1996 Regulations extend to the
whole
of Great Britain. These Regulations implement in
Wales
Commission
Directive
2004/77/EC
which
amends
Directive
94/54/EC as regards the labelling of
certain
foods
containing
glycyrrhizinic acid and its ammonium salt (OJ No. L162, 30.4.2004, p.76).
2.
Glycyrrhizinic acid occurs naturally in the liquorice plant, and its ammonium salt is manufactured
from
aqueous extracts of that plant. These Regulations require
confectionery
and
drinks
containing
certain
levels of that acid or salt to be labelled
with
the indication "
contains
liquorice" and
for
this to be
coupled
with
a
warning
in
certain
cases
(regulation 7). There are exemptions
from
these labelling requirements in the
case
of
food
which
is not prepacked,
food
which
is prepacked
for
direct
sale,
fancy
confectionery
products, small packages and
certain
indelibly marked glass bottles (regulations 4 to 6). These Regulations also
contain
a transitional provision (regulation 8) and update the
definition
of "
Directive
94/54" (regulation 3).
3.
A regulatory appraisal pursuant to section 65 of the Government of
Wales
Act 1998 has been prepared
for
these Regulations and placed in the Library of the National Assembly
for
Wales
together
with
a Transposition Note setting out how the main elements of
Directive
2003/120/EC are transposed in these Regulations.
