Food (Hot Chilli and Hot Chilli Products) (Emergency Control) (Scotland) (Amendment) Regulations 2003 (S.S.I. No. 493 of 2003).

These Regulations amend the principal Regulations in consequence of defects in the principal Regulations. Regulation 2(2) provides that imports of hot chilli and hot chilli products need not comply with Article 3.1 of the Commission Decision implemented by the principal Regulations but where subjected to sampling and analysis by the food authority on presentation for importation they may not be imported where they are found to contain Sudan red 1 (CAS No 842-07-9). Regulation 2(4) clarifies that the documentary checks to be carried out by food authorities are as set out in Article 2.2 of the Commission Decision. Regulations 2(3), 2(5) and 2(6) correct typographical errors in regulations 4, 6 and 7 of the principal Regulations respectively. Regulation 2(7) makes provision for the payment of the cost of analysis, storage and destruction of hot chilli and hot chilli products required by these Regulations.
