These Regulations, which apply to Great Britain, come into force on 1st July 1992. They implement Council Directive 89/396/EEC (OJ No. L186, 30.6.89, p. 21), as amended by Council Directives 91/238/EEC (OJ No. L107, 27.4.91, p. 50) and 92/11/EEC (OJ No. L65, 11.3.92, p. 32), on indications and marks identifying the lot to which a foodstuff belongs. Subject to exceptions the Regulations require food which has been produced, prepared or packaged as part of a lot to be so marked or labelled as to enable the lot to be identified (regulation 3).
