Guidance on the Plastic Materials and Articles in Contact with Food Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009

Wednesday 7 January 2009

This guidance is aimed primarily at businesses (including SMEs, which may either use the guidance directly or learn about it via trade associations or enforcement authority contacts) that manufacture, use, import or sell materials and articles made from plastic that are intended for use in contact with food.

It may also be of use to others with an interest in the legislation, such as enforcement authorities. These guidance notes provide a short summary of the changes proposed by the new Regulations in so far as they apply to Northern Ireland only. The devolved administrations in England, Wales and Scotland will make separate but parallel legislation.
