European Communities (Purity Criteria on Food Additives other than Colours and Sweeteners) (Amendment) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 488 of 2003).

These Regulations implement Commission Directive 2002/82/EC which amends the Annex to Commission Directive 96/77/EC laying down specific purity criteria on food additives other than colours and sweeteners. This Statutory Instrument adapts, due to technical progress, existing purity criteria set out in Directive 96/77/EC. It also establishes new purity criteria for those food additives for which purity criteria set out in Directive 96/77/EC were not sufficient.
