Abstract

These Regulations amend the Food Information Regulations 2014 by inserting new regulations 5A and 6A. Regulation 5A provides that food that is prepacked for direct sale, whether supplied to a final consumer or to a mass caterer, must have a list of ingredients provided directly on the package or on a label attached to the package. There is an exemption for small packaging or containers. Regulation 6A provides that food that is prepacked for direct sale, whether supplied to a final consumer or to a mass caterer, must have the name of the food provided directly on the package or on a label attached to the package. There is an exemption from both labelling requirements where an offer for sale is made by means of distance communication.
