Artisan and small scale food producers face big hurdles dealing with the law, which is complex and ever changing and carries big bills when you get it wrong. What may seem reasonable for industrial and commodity food producers becomes a heavy and unreasonable burden for the small scale food producer.

This is where Artisan Food Law comes in to provide support and help navigate a way through the minefield.

All change for the fruit juices and nectars regulations
24.11.2013 - 12:24

The need to implement Directive 2012/12/EU and the desire to make life simpler for fruit drink producers were the driving forces behind The Fruit Juices and Fruit Nectars (England) Regulations 2013. The 2013 Regulations give effect to the Directive and consolidate, with the removal of minor ‘gold plating’ and as a part of the Red Tape Challenge, all the earlier regulations into a single set which came into force on 20 November 2013.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) consulted on the proposed changes earlier this year and publication of the response coincided with the implementation of the 2013 Regulations. The changes were broadly welcomed by the five bodies which responded to the consultation, two trade associations and three local authority trading standards bodies, and have provoked little or no critical response.
