section 97 of new food safet act 2006 provides (iii) any penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred in respect of any offences
committed against the enactment and orders under repeal ; or
(iv) any investigation or remedy in respect of any such penalty, forfeiture or
punishment,
and any such investigation, legal proceedings or remedy may be instituted, continued or
enforced and any such penalty, forfeiture or punishment may be imposed, as if this Act had
not been passed:
in your case prosecution has already been launched it will continue to be governed by rpovisions of food aduleration act 1954
