Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which apply to Scotland only, amend the Contaminants in Food Regulations 1997 by bringing up to date the definition of “Commission Regulation (EC) No. 194/97” setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs, so as to cover its further amendment by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1566/1999 which altered the date by which the maximum aflatoxin limits laid down for nuts, dried fruit and cereals have to be reconsidered by the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs from 1 July 1999 to 1 July 2001.
