These Regulations, which apply in relation to Wales, revoke and re-enact with changes the Contaminants in Food (Wales) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/1386 (W.142) (as amended)). They make provision for the continuing execution and enforcement of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1881/2006 setting maximum levels for contaminants in foodstuffs (OJ No. L364, 20.12.2006, p.5) ("the Commission Regulation"). 2. The Commission Regulation, which consolidated and made further amendments to the provisions formerly contained in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 466/2001, has recently been amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No. 165/2010, which concerns maximum levels for aflatoxins and the treatment of certain foods found to contain aflatoxins in excess of those levels (OJ No. L50, 27.2.2010, p.8). The Commission Regulation has previously been amended by– (a) Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1126/2007 (OJ No. L255, 29.9.2007, p.14), concerning maximum permitted levels for Fusarium toxins in maize and maize products; (b) Commission Regulation (EC) No. 565/2008 (OJ No. L160, 19.6.2008, p.20), concerning maximum permitted levels for dioxins and PCBs in fish liver; (c) Commission Regulation (EC) No. 629/2008 (OJ No. L173, 3.7.2008, p.6), concerning maximum permitted levels for certain heavy metals; and O F F E RY N N A U S TAT U D O L C Y M R U 2010 Rhif 2394 (Cy.206) BWYD, CYMRU Rheoliadau Halogion mewn Bwyd (Cymru) 2010 NODYN ESBONIADOL (Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau) 1. Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn, sy'n gymwys o ran Cymru, yn dirymu ac yn ailddeddfu gyda newidiadau Reoliadau Halogion mewn Bwyd (Cymru) 2009 (O.S. 2009/1386 (Cy.142), (fel y'i diwygiwyd)). Maent yn gwneud darpariaeth ar gyfer parhau i weithredu a gorfodi Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 1881/2006 sy'n pennu'r lefelau uchaf ar gyfer halogion mewn deunyddiau bwyd (OJ Rhif L364, 20.12.2006, t.5) ("Rheoliad y Comisiwn"). 2. Mae Rheoliad y Comisiwn, a gydgrynhodd y darpariaethau a oedd wedi eu cynnwys yn flaenorol yn Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 466/2001 ac a wnaeth ddiwygiadau pellach iddynt, wedi ei ddiwygio'n ddiweddar gan Reoliad y Comisiwn (EU) Rhif 165/2010, sy'n ymwneud â lefelau uchaf ar gyfer afflatocsinau ac â thrin bwydydd penodol y cafwyd eu bod yn cynnwys lefelau uwch o afflatocsinau na'r lefelau hynny (OJ Rhif L150, 27.2.2010, t.8). Mae Rheoliad y Comisiwn wedi ei ddiwygio'n flaenorol gan– (a) Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 1126/2007 (OJ Rhif L255, 29.9.2007, t.14), sy'n ymwneud â lefelau uchaf a ganiateir ar gyfer tocsinau Fusarium mewn indrawn a chynnyrch indrawn; (b) Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 565/2008 (OJ Rhif L160, 19.6.2008, t.20), sy'n ymwneud â lefelau uchaf a ganiateir ar gyfer deuocsinau a biffenylau polyclorinedig (PCBs) mewn afu pysgod; (c) Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 629/2008 (OJ Rhif L173, 3.7.2008, t.6), sy'n ymwneud â lefelau uchaf a ganiateir ar gyfer metelau trwm penodol; a (ch) Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EU) Rhif 105/2010 (OJ Rhif L35, 6.2.2010, t.7), sy'n ymwneud â lefelau uchaf a ganiateir ar gyfer ochratocsin A. 3. Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn darparu hefyd ar gyfer gweithredu a gorfodi Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 124/2009 (OJ Rhif L40, 11.2.2009, t.7) ("Rheoliad 124/2009"), sy'n ymwneud â lefelau uchaf a ganiateir ar gyfer ychwanegion penodol at fwyd anifeiliaid y gellir eu cael o dan amgylchiadau penodedig mewn bwyd. 4.

These Regulations also provide for the execution and enforcement of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 124/2009 (OJ No. L40, 11.2.2009, p.7) ("Regulation 124/2009"), which concerns maximum permitted levels for certain feed additives that may in specified circumstances occur in food. 4. The Regulations– (a) provide that it is an offence, (except in certain cases relating to food placed on the market before a date given in specified EU legislation)– (i) to place on the market certain foods if they contain contaminants of any kind specified in the Commission Regulation or in Regulation 124/2009 at levels exceeding those specified, (ii) to use food containing contaminants at levels in excess of those permitted by the Commission Regulation as ingredients in the production of certain foods, (iii) to mix foods that do not comply with the maximum levels prescribed by the Commission Regulation or Regulation 124/2009 with foods which do comply, (iv) to mix foods to which the Commission Regulation relates and which are intended for direct consumption or as food ingredients with foods to which the Commission Regulation relates and which are intended to be sorted or otherwise treated prior to consumption, or (v) to detoxify by chemical treatment food containing mycotoxins in excess of the limits specified in the Commission Regulation (regulation 3); (b) specify the enforcement authorities (regulation 4); (c) provide for the application of specified provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 for the purposes of these Regulations (regulation 5); (d) make a consequential amendment to the Food Safety (Sampling and Qualifications) Regulations 1990 in so far as they apply in relation to Wales (regulation 6), the effect being to disapply the sampling and analysis provisions of those Regulations only to the extent that those matters are regulated by the EU instruments mentioned in paragraph 5(a) to (d) below. 2 5. Mae Rheoliad y Comisiwn yn pennu dulliau'r Undeb Ewropeaidd o samplu a dadansoddi y mae'n ofynnol eu defnyddio i reoli'n swyddogol lefelau'r sylweddau y mae'n eu cwmpasu. Mae'r dulliau hynny wedi eu nodi yn y canlynol– (a) Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 401/2006 sy'n pennu'r dulliau samplu a dadansoddi ar gyfer rheoli'n swyddogol y lefelau mycotocsinau mewn deunyddiau bwyd (OJ Rhif L70, 9.3.2006, t.12), fel y'i diwygiwyd gan Reoliad y Comisiwn (EU) Rhif 178/2010 (OJ Rhif L52, 3.3.2010, t.32); (b) Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 1882/2006 sy'n pennu dulliau samplu a dadansoddi ar gyfer rheoli'n swyddogol lefelau nitradau mewn deunyddiau bwyd penodol (OJ Rhif L364, 20.12.2006, t.25); (c) Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 1883/2006 sy'n pennu dulliau samplu a dadansoddi ar gyfer rheoli'n swyddogol lefelau deuocsinau a biffenylau polyclorinedig (PCBs) tebyg i ddeuocsinau sydd mewn deunyddiau bwyd penodol (OJ Rhif L364, 20.12.2006, t.32); (ch) Rheoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 333/2007 sy'n pennu'r dulliau samplu a dadansoddi ar gyfer rheoli'n swyddogol y lefelau plwm, cadmiwm, mercwri, tun inorganig, 3-MCPD a benso(a)pyren mewn deunyddiau bwyd (OJ Rhif L88, 29.3.2007, t.29). 6.
