Abstract

This Order is made under section 13 of the Food Safety Act 1990 in consequence of it appearing to the Secretary of State for Health that the importation into England of certain Star Anise consigned from countries which are not member States of the European Community may involve imminent risk of injury to health. The Order also implements, in relation to England, Commission Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries of Star Anise. The Order: (a) prohibits the importation of "Star Anise for human consumption" consigned from countries which are not member States of the European Community except where it is accompanied by health certificates completed by the competent authority of the exporting third country and a report on the results of official sampling and analysis undertaken in that country, the importation takes place only through specified points of entry and the consignment is identified with a code corresponding with that specified on the health certificate and in the sampling and analysis results and prohibits the importation of "Japanese Star Anise" intended for human consumption or which is not labelled to the effect that it is unfit for such use.
