Explanatory note

These Regulations make amendments to existing transitional provisions contained in statutory instruments and in retained direct EU legislation which relate to various food labelling requirements. The amendments, which only apply in England, extend previous transitional arrangements, which were due to expire at the end of September 2022, so that they continue to apply until the end of 2023.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the public, private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
