Abstract

These Regulations amend European Union (Food Intended for Infants and Young Children, Food for Special Medical Purposes, and Total Diet Replacement for Weight Control) Regulations 2019 and give effect to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/571 of 20 January 2021 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1040 of 16 April 2021. Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/571 authorises the use of calcium-L-methylfolate as a source of folate in infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food. Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1040 amends the definition of residue in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128 to align it to the definition in Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005. It also replaces the Annex II and III to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128.
