This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum
4. In Article 3, for paragraph 2, substitute—
“2. Food business operators must not use any substance other than potable water—or, when Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 or this Regulation permits its use, clean water— to remove surface contamination from products of animal origin, unless use of the substance has been prescribed by the appropriate authority. Food business operators must comply with any conditions of use that may be prescribed by the appropriate authority. The use of a prescribed substance does not affect the food business operator’s duty to comply with the requirements of this Regulation.”.
