These Regulations make amendments to retained direct EU legislation relating to organic products. In accordance with Schedule 5 to the 2018 Act, these instruments will be published before exit day by the National Archives and available from legislation.gov.uk.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
