EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend schedule 4 of the Processed Cereal-based Foods and Baby Foods for Infants and Young Children (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (“the 2004 Regulations”) to add calcium-L-methylfolate, ferrous bisglycinate and zinc chloride to the list of nutritional substances set out there.

The effect of this amendment is that these substances may be added in the manufacture of any processed cereal-based food or baby food (regulation 6(1) of the 2004 Regulations). Additionally, where a processed cereal-based food or baby food is labelled with the average quantity of these substances, this must be done in a manner which complies with regulation 8(2) of the 2004 Regulations.
