The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 16(2), 17(1) and (2), 26(1)(a), (2)(a) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990(1) and all other powers enabling them to do so.
In accordance with section 48(4A) of the Food Safety Act 1990(2), the Scottish Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by Food Standards Scotland.
There has been consultation as required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety(3).
1990 c.16. Section 1(1) and (2) (definition of “food”) was substituted by S.I. 2004/2990. Sections 16(2), 17(1) and (2), and 48(1) were amended by paragraph 8 of schedule 5 of the Food Standards Act 1999 (c.28) (“the 1999 Act”). Section 17(1) was also amended by paragraph 12(a) of schedule 5 of the 1999 Act. Section 26(3) was amended by paragraph 1 of schedule 6 of the 1999 Act. By virtue of section 40(2) of the 1999 Act, amendments made by schedule 5 of that Act are to be taken as pre-commencement enactments for the purposes of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46) (“the 1998 Act”). The functions of the Secretary of State, in so far as within devolved competence, were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the 1998 Act. In so far as not transferred, and in so far as relating to food (including drink) including the primary production of food, relevant functions were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by S.I. 2005/849.
Section 48(4A) was inserted by paragraph 21 of schedule 5 of the 1999 Act. The reference in that subsection to the Food Standards Agency is, by virtue of section 48(6) of the 1990 Act, to be read as a reference to Food Standards Scotland. Section 48(6) was inserted by paragraph 3(11) of the Food (Scotland) Act 2015 (asp 1).
OJ L 31, 1.2.2002, p.1. Section 48(4) is disapplied in respect of these Regulations by virtue of section 48(4C) which was inserted by regulation 5(b) of S.I. 2004/2990.
