Regulation 6 Amendment of Regulation (EC) 853/2004

In Article 3, for paragraph 2, substitute—

“2.

Food business operators shall 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 approved by the Food Safety Authority. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation by, among other things, supplementing it, shall be prescribed by the appropriate authority. Food business operators must comply with any conditions for use that may be prescribed. The use of an approved substance does not affect the food business operator’s duty to comply with the requirements of this Regulation.”.
