    1. Hi,

      Here's what it means:

      The letters ' CE ' appear on many products that are traded on the single market in the European Economic Area ( EEA ). The CE marking is required for many products. It: shows that the manufacturer has checked that these products meet EU safety, health or environmental requirements.

    2. While that is all true in general the reason it is on some stickers and not others is that it has to be on anything that comes into contact with food, and these (and 95 & 96) were given away in cereal boxes. Some later ones like 2002 were in crisp packets. So if you've got a CE sticker that is where it came from as opposed to a normal packet. One day I'll get round to letting Alan know which numbers were included in these as it wasn't all of them.
