The Food Labelling (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1993

The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by sections 4(1), 16(1)(e) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990^[1] and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, after consultation in accordance with section 48(4) of the said Act with such organisations as appear to him to be representative of interests likely to be substantially affected by the Regulations, hereby makes the following Regulations:

Citation, extent and commencement
    1.    These Regulations may be cited as the Food Labelling (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1993, shall extend to Scotland only, and shall come into force on 25th November 1993.

Amendment of the Food Labelling (Scotland) Regulations 1984
    2.    In Schedule 7 to the Food Labelling (Scotland) Regulations 1984^[2] the entries relating to "shandy", "shandygaff", "ginger beer shandy", "cider shandy", "cider shandygaff" and "cider and ginger beer shandy" shall be deleted.

Hector Monro

Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Scottish Office
St Andrew's House, Edinburgh

1st November 1993

These Regulations, which apply to Scotland only, come into force on 25th November 1993.

The Regulations further amend the Food Labelling (Scotland) Regulations 1984 by removing from Schedule 7 to those Regulations the entries relating to shandy, shandygaff, ginger beer shandy, cider shandy, cider shandygaff and cider and ginger beer shandy (regulation 2). Prior to this amendment the use of any of these descriptions in relation to a drink other than in accordance with the appropriate accompanying conditions was to apply a misleading description to that drink, contrary to the requirements of regulation 38(1) of the Food Labelling (Scotland) Regulations 1984.
