Food for Specific Groups (Information and Compositional Requirements) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 (S.I. No. 44 of 2019). Country/Territory United Kingdom Territorial subdivision England Document type Regulation Date 2019 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Food & nutrition Keyword Food quality control/food safety Special dietary uses Breastfeeding/infant food Packaging/labelling Offences/penalties Nutrition Geographical area Atlantic Ocean Islands, Europe, Europe and Central Asia, North Atlantic, North Sea, North-East Atlantic, Northern Europe Abstract These Regulations amend the Food for Specific Groups (Information and Compositional Requirements) (England) Regulations 2016 to enforce in England Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128 supplementing Regulation (EU) No. 609/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the specific information and compositional requirements for food for special medical purposes. The Delegated Regulation sets out the specific information and compositional requirements for food for special medical purposes. The 2016 Regulations are amended so that specified provisions of the Delegated Regulation become ‘specified EU requirements’, to which the modified provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 apply. This enables an improvement notice to be served requiring compliance. Failure to comply with an improvement notice is a criminal offence. The Delegated Regulation now applies only to food for special medical purposes other than that developed to satisfy the nutritional needs of infants. These Regulations therefore ensure that enforcement of the Delegated Regulation is similarly limited. The definition of medical food in the Medical Food (England) Regulations 2000 is amended. It will continue to apply to medical food developed to satisfy the nutritional needs of infants, so that they only apply to such food.
