These clauses govern how feed (including pet food) is placed on the GB market. Articles 24 and 25 were substituted by The Animal Feed (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/654), so they now reflect the GB-specific regime (Catalogue maintained by the appropriate authority; Codes of good labelling practice developed by the Food Safety Authority, explicitly one for pet food). C1 substring-verified against the first-hand legislation.gov.uk text (English source — no translation layer). Distinct from the framework/definitions and labelling-presentation topics already in the `uk` category.\n\nThe following are verbatim clauses (C1 substring-verified against `pdf-raw/uk-2026/uk_eu767_art23_30.txt`):\n\n**Art 25(1) - Food Safety Authority develops Codes, one for pet food (GB-substituted)**\n> VERBATIM (Reg (EC) 767/2009): \"The Food Safety Authority is to develop Codes of good labelling practice (the Codes), one for pet food and one for compound feed for food producing animals, which may include a section concerning compound feed for fur animals.\"\n\n**Art 25(2) - Aim & content of the Codes**\n> VERBATIM (Reg (EC) 767/2009): \"The Codes must aim to improve the appropriateness of the labelling. They must, in particular, include provisions on the presentation of labelling particulars provided for in Article 14, on the voluntary labelling provided for in Article 22 and on the use of claims provided for in Article 13.\"\n\n**Art 25(3) - Voluntary use; condition for indicating Code compliance**\n> VERBATIM (Reg (EC) 767/2009): \"Use of the Codes by the feed business operators is voluntary. However, use of any of the Codes may be indicated on the labelling only on condition that all relevant provisions of such Code are complied with.\"\n\n\nNote: Article 26 (Establishment of the Codes / Community Catalogue) and Article 28 (Committee procedure) were **omitted** from the GB-retained version by S.I. 2019/654; penalties for feed-law breaches now fall under separate UK implementing instruments rather than Reg 767/2009 itself.\n","sources":["UK feed/pet-food regulations — UK feed law — Codes of good labelling practice (retained Reg (EC) 767/2009 Art 25, as amended in GB; one Code for pet food) (retrieved 2026-07-27)"],"source":{"authority":"UK feed/pet-food regulations","title":"UK feed law — Codes of good labelling practice (retained Reg (EC) 767/2009 Art 25, as amended in GB; one Code for pet food)","url":"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2009/767/article/25","retrieved":"2026-07-27","ref":"Reg (EC) 767/2009","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"Retained EU Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed, as published on legislation.gov.uk (GB-applicable assimilated law; Arts 24 & 25 substituted by The Animal Feed (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, S.I. 2019/654)","verification_file":"pdf-raw/uk-2026/uk_eu767_art23_30.txt (legislation.gov.uk /eur/2009/767)"},"source_document":"Retained EU Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed, as published on legislation.gov.uk (GB-applicable assimilated law; Arts 24 & 25 substituted by The Animal Feed (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, S.I. 2019/654)","source_file":"pdf-raw/uk-2026/uk_eu767_art23_30.txt (legislation.gov.uk /eur/2009/767)","tokens_estimated":366,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
