The Food Standards Agency has launched a consultation on the draft Food Safety (Information and Compositional Requirements) (Amendment) Regulation (Northern Ireland) 2019 which will introduce provisions for the enforcement of the requirements of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128, which supplements Regulation (EU) No 609/2013 as regards the specific compositional and information requirements for food for special medical purposes, both of which are directly applicable across the EU. The Northern Ireland Regulations need to come into operation by 22 February 2019 in line with the provision of the EU Regulations.
The closing date for comments is 30 October 2018.
