Yn unol ag adran 48(4A) o Ddeddf Diogelwch Bwyd 1990, mae Gweinidogion Cymru wedi rhoi sylw i gyngor perthnasol a roddwyd iddynt gan yr Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd. Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn gwneud darpariaeth at ddiben a grybwyllir yn adran 2(2) o Ddeddf y Cymunedau Ewropeaidd 1972 ac mae'n ymddangos i Weinidogion Cymru ei bod yn hwylus dehongli cyfeiriadau at yr Atodiad i'r offeryn UE a grybwyllwyd yn rheoliad 3 fel cyfeiriadau at yrAtodiad hwnnw fel y caiff ei ddiwygio o bryd i'w gilydd.
