The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has opened a consultation on the correction of references to the EU in the Food Safety Act 1990 and Food Standards Act 1999.
The FSA proposes to bring forward a Statutory Instrument under Sections 12(1) and 20(1) of the REUL Act to restate assimilated law. The draft affirmative SI will amend all references to the EU in Section 17 of the Food Safety Act 1990 and Section 19(3) of the Food Standards Act 1999 to accurately refer to assimilated law.
The proposed amendments to the Food Safety Act will apply in Scotland, England and Wales. Equivalent primary legislation in Northern Ireland is the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991. No amendment to that Order is proposed at this time.
