Wednesday 15 September 2010
This guidance is aimed at all companies that manufacture, process, distribute, use, sell or import active and intelligent materials and articles that are intended for use in contact with food. It is also aimed at those authorities who are responsible for enforcing the legislation. It may additionally be of interest to others with an interest in the legislation.
Although the guidance is issued on a devolved basis, both it and the Statutory Instruments will substantially be the same in all 4 countries of the UK.
