Food Labelling Regulations 1996, as amended by the Food Labelling (Amendment) Regulations 1998 and the Food Labelling (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1999.
These notes have been produced with the aim of providing informal, non-statutory guidance on quantitative ingredient declarations (QUID).
They place the similar guidance developed by the European Commission (III/5260-rev5/98) in a UK context and should be read in conjunction with regulation 19 of the Food Labelling Regulations 1996, as amended by the Food Labelling (Amendment) Regulations 1998 and the Food Labelling (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1999.
The examples which they contain are provided for illustration only.
The notes and examples should not be taken as an authoritative statement or interpretation of the law, as only the courts have this power.
Back to topThese guidance notes relate to the new rules on quantitative ingredient declarations for foodstuffs (QUID) contained in regulation 9 of the Food Labelling (Amendment) Regulations 1998 and regulation 4 of the Food Labelling (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1999.
The new rules replace those in regulation 19 of the Food Labelling Regulations 1996.
Full compliance with the new rules is not obligatory before 14 February 2000 (regulation 13 of the Food Labelling (Amendment) Regulations 1998 and regulation 6 of the Food Labelling (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1999).
