Food Standards Agency has published consultation on the Transposition and Enforcement of the EU’s Amendments to the Breakfast Directives. This consultation is seeking views on the transposition and approach to enforcement of the new requirements outlined in amending Directive (EU) 2024/1438. This Directive amends four of the seven Directives, known collectively as the ‘Breakfast Directives’, relating to honey, fruit juices, jams, jellies and marmalades and preserved dehydrated milk products. Transposition is the legal process of transferring the requirements of EU Directives into domestic legislation.

- Directive 2001/110/EC relating to honey.
- Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products.
- Directive 2001/113/EC relating to fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and sweetened chestnut purée.
- Directive 2001/114/EC relating to certain partly or wholly dehydrated preserved milk.
It is intended that amendments to these Directives will be transposed into the following domestic Northern Ireland legislation by 14 December 2025:
