European Communities (Feedingstuffs) (Tolerances of Undesirable Substances and Products) Regulations, 1998.

These Regulations, which control the content of undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs and feed materials, consolidate existing legislation and implement additional amendments to Council Directive 74/63/EEC. Feed materials may only be put into circulation if they are sound, genuine and of merchantable quality. In particular, and subject to Part I of the Second Schedule to these Regulations, feed materials cannot be considered as sound, genuine and of merchantable quality if the level of undesirable substances or products is so high as to make it impossible to respect the maximum levels fixed for compound feedingstuffs in the First Schedule to these Regulations.
