Food Additives Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 (S.R. No. 416 of 2009).

These Regulations provide, in relation to Northern Ireland, rules for the use of food additives as defined by these Regulations and Community legislation implemented by these Regulations.
The Regulations prohibit the use of colours, sweeteners and miscellaneous additives that are not permitted by specified Community legislation. They also concern the use of food additives in food for infants or young children and the sale and placing on the market of food additives. They provide that, where food is certified as being food which it is an offence under these Regulations to use, sell or place on the market, the food will be treated for the purposes of section 8 of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 as failing to comply with food safety requirements.
