(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations, which amend the Miscellaneous Food Additives Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995, as already amended (“the principal Regulations”), implement European Parliament and Council Directive 2003/52/EC (O.J. No. L10, 17.7.2003, p. 23) amending Directive 95/2/EC (O.J. No. L61, 18.3.1995, p. 1) as regards the conditions of use for a food additive, E425 Konjac.
These Regulations provide for E425 Konjac to be used in foodstuffs in general (except in certain foods as are specified in the principal Regulations) but not in jelly confectionery. Jelly confectionery includes jelly mini-cups.
