Has any EU legislation been removed as a result of the new food hygiene regulations?
Yes, the new EU food hygiene regulations effectively consolidated seventeen EU measures in the food hygiene area into just two. The revocation of the seventeen measures has removed the duplication and inconsistencies in approach that caused difficulties both for businesses and enforcement authorities. Most of the measures were revoked by EC Directive 2004/41 (one measure was revoked by EC Regulation 852/2004). EC Directive 2004/41 lists the legislation revoked (and amended).
