The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by Articles 15(1)(a), (e) and (f), 16(1) and (2), 25(1), (2)(e) and (f) and (3), and 47(2) of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 , as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 .

In accordance with Article 47(3A) of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991, it has had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety that it is expedient for any reference to an Article of or an Annex to any of the EU instruments specified in regulation 2(4) to be construed as a reference to that Article or that Annex as amended from time to time.

As required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety , there has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation and evaluation of these Regulations.
