Abstract

Subject to exceptions specified in regulation 4, these Regulations shall apply to extraction solvents used or intended for use in the production of foodstuffs or food ingredients. The Regulations specify by name all the substances which may be used as extraction solvents under conditions of good manufacturing practice (Part I of the Schedule) lay down the conditions of use of other extraction solvents (Part II of the Schedule), and specify the residues permitted (Part III of the Schedule) in food and food ingredients. They implement Council Directive No. 88/344/EEC on extraction solvents used in the production of foodstuffs and food ingredients, as amended. The use of an extraction solvent other than one listed in the Schedule in the manufacture of foodstuffs or food ingredients is prohibited. A person shall not import, manufacture, prepare, distribute, market, or sell a foodstuff which breaches any of the provisions of these Regulations on extraction solvents used in the production of foodstuffs and food ingredients.
