This is a draft item of legislation. This draft has since been made as a UK Statutory Instrument: The Food and Feed (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2022 No. 1351
Regulation 2(7)
After Schedule 4 to the Materials and Articles in Contact with Food (England) Regulations 2012 insert—
Regulation 12(1)
Regenerated cellulose film is a thin sheet material obtained from a refined cellulose derived from unrecycled wood or cotton. To meet technical requirements, suitable substances may be added either in the mass or on the surface. Regenerated cellulose film may be coated on one or both sides.
Notes:
—The percentages in this Schedule, in the first and second parts, are expressed in weight/weight (w/w) and are calculated in relation to the quantity of anhydrous uncoated regenerated cellulose film.
—The usual technical denominations are given in square brackets.
—The substances used shall be of good technical quality as regards the purity criteria.
