Division B.5 Sampling at retail stage

Sampling of foodstuffs at the retail stage must be done where possible in accordance with the provisions set out in this part B of Annex I.
Where that is not possible, an alternative method of sampling at retail stage may be applied provided that it ensures that the aggregate sample is sufficiently representative of the sampled lot and is fully described and documented. In any case, the aggregate sample shall be at least 1 kgf1.
