These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, implement Council Directive 2007/61/EC by amending the Condensed Milk and Dried Milk (Scotland) Regulations 2003 (“the Principal Regulations”).

The Regulations amend the definitions of partly dehydrated milk and totally dehydrated milk in the Principal Regulations (regulation 3).

The Regulations make amendments to the Notes to Schedule 1 of the Principal Regulations (regulation 4). Those amendments relate to the adjustment of protein content of partly dehydrated milk and totally dehydrated milk, the materials that can be used for adjusting protein content and the substances that can be added to these milks.

The Regulations make consequential amendments to the Colours in Food Regulations 1995 and the Miscellaneous Food Additives Regulations 1995 (regulations 5 and 6).

A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that these Regulations will have on business costs has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre. Copies may be obtained from the Food Standards Agency, 6th Floor, St Magnus House, 25 Guild Street, Aberdeen, AB11 6NJ.
