Information

The registers on this page contain the information on authorised regulated products and their conditions of use. On 1 April 2025, The Food and Feed (Regulated Products) (Amendment, Revocation, Consequential and Transitional Provision) Regulations 2025 (‘reform SI’) came into force. Entries in these registers are now updated when a ministerial decision affecting an authorisation comes into effect, rather than authorisations being prescribed by statutory instrument. The ministerial decisions concerning authorisations constitute the legal basis for the placing on the market and use of the products and substances concerned and are recorded in the registers.

The registers are maintained to accurately reflect ministerial decisions. Where an existing authorisation is modified, details of any changes made will be recorded in the register, as will details of any transitional provisions.

The date of the most recent update made to an authorisation due to a ministerial decision appears in each register entry with a description of the change. Dates of administrative changes to the register will not be recorded.

Where FSA and FSS registers of authorised regulated products were previously maintained on the FSA website for these policy areas, these have been updated in line with the requirements of the reform SI. These are now the official public registers. Further improvements to the registers will continue to be made.

More information and guidance on the authorisation of regulated products can be found on our regulated products pages.

Terms of authorisation

The terms of authorisation are detailed in the registers. Where authorising legislation, or parts of it, has been revoked by the reform SI, the authorisations themselves are preserved.

Where authorisations were in effect before 1 April 2025, the registers may reference the legislation (including revoked parts) that granted such authorisations. Where this occurs, links are provided to legislation.gov.uk, so that users can access the terms of authorisation as they were when the reform SI came into effect.

For example, for entries in the register of authorised feed additives, links are provided to the legislation that contained the preserved conditions of use for that particular additive, despite the legislation itself being revoked. These links can be used to find details such as the terms of authorisation for that particular additive.

Assimilated law

Directly applicable EU legislation no longer applies in Great Britain (GB). EU legislation retained when the UK exited the EU became assimilated law on 1 January 2024, published on legislation.gov.uk.
