  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations implement Directive (EU) 2015/2203 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to caseins and caseinates intended for human consumption and repealing Council Directive 83/417/EEC (OJ No L 314, 1.12.2015, p 1).\nThese Regulations revoke and replace the Caseins and Caseinates Regulations 1985 (S.I. 1985/2026) and the Caseins and Caseinates (Amendment) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/2321) in relation to Wales.\nThese Regulations only apply to casein products intended for human consumption (regulation 3).\nThese Regulations—\n(a) prescribe definitions and standards for certain casein products (regulation 2 and Schedules 1 to 3);\n(b) prohibit the use of any casein or caseinate in the preparation of food if it does not comply with particular standards (regulation 4 and Schedule 4);\n(c) subject to specified exceptions, prohibit the labelling or advertisement of food with the names of casein products unless the food is or contains a casein product (regulation 5);\n(d) impose additional requirements as to the labelling of casein products (regulation 6);\n(e) impose an obligation on each county council or county borough council to enforce the Regulations in its area (regulation 7);\n(f) apply certain provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 (1990 c. 16), with modifications. This includes the application (with modifications) of section 10(1), enabling an improvement notice to be served to require compliance with regulations 4, 5 or 6 of these Regulations. The provisions, as applied, make the failure to comply with an improvement notice an offence (regulation 8).\nThe Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.",
