In these Regulations, “wholegrain” means the intact grain or the dehulled, ground, milled, cracked or flaked grain where the constituents (endosperm, germ and bran) are present in such proportions that represent the typical ratio of those constituents occurring in the whole cereal, and includes wholemeal.
No food product shall be labelled as “wholegrain” or with words conveying that meaning unless —
the food product falls within or is made from ingredients falling within the definition of “wholegrain” in paragraph (1); and
the word “wholegrain” (or other words conveying that meaning) is qualified immediately by words indicating the percentage of wholegrain ingredients used.
