European Communities (Purity Criteria on Food Additives other than Colours and Sweeteners) (Amendment) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 343 of 2001).

These Regulations implement Commission Directive 2000/63/EC which amends Commission Directive 96/77/EC laying down specific purity criteria on food additives other than colours and sweeteners as set out in Council Directive 95/2/EC. This Statutory Instrument replaces the purity criteria already laid down for E320 — butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) - and establishes new purity criteria for some categories of additives listed in Council Directive 95/2/EC as an addition to those purity criteria already established in the Annex to Commission Directive 96/77/EC and Directive 98/86/EC.
