Consultation details
The guidance is principally to help with interpreting the requirements set down
in European Council Regulation 577/97 (as amended) on standards for spreadable
fats and the European Council regulation 1898/87 on the protection of dairy
designations. The guidance also touches on the effects of European Council Directive
1019/2002 on requirements for labelling food containing olive oil, so far as
it applies to yellow fat spreads.
