Abstract

These Regulations give effect to Council Directive 89/108/EEC on the approximation of the laws of Member States relating to quick-frozen foodstuffs for human consumption. These Regulations apply only to foodstuffs which have undergone the quick-freezing process as specified and are marketed in such a way as to indicate that they possess this characteristic. The temperatures at which quick-frozen foodstuffs shall be distributed and stored and the appropriate labelling requirements and enforcement procedures are set out in the Regulations. Quick-frozen foodstuffs, as defined in regulation 2, may not be marketed unless they comply with the terms of these Regulations.
