Extraction Solvents in Food (Amendment) Regulations 1998 (S.I. No. 2257 of 1998).

These Regulations amend the Extraction Solvents in Food Regulations 1993 in implementation of European Parliament and Council Directive 97/60/EC amending for the third time Directive 88/344/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on extraction solvents used in the production of foodstuffs and food ingredients. They, among other things: add and remove extraction solvents from the list of permitted extraction solvents and change standards for certain extraction solvents on the list. They also provide a defence in respect of food or an extraction solvent placed on the market or labelled before the amendment introduced by these Regulations.
