The draft Regulations contain proposed national measures (as permitted under Article 44.1 and 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011) that would require foods sold pre-packed for direct sale to display the name of the food and full ingredients listing. Allergen ingredients would have to be emphasised in the ingredients list on the packaging.

The Food Information (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2019

The draft Food Information (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 make specific provision in relation to allergen information for food sold pre-packed for direct sale.

As provided for by Article 44.2 of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, the proposed Regulations would introduce national measures concerning the means by which allergen information for foods sold pre-packed for direct sale must be provided.

The draft Regulations insert new regulations 5A and 6A into the Food Information (Wales) Regulations 2014. These regulations will require foods sold pre-packed for direct sale to include the name of the food and ingredients list, with allergen information highlighted within the ingredients list. There is an exemption for foods offered for sale by means of distance communication.
