The threats posed by BSE and the risks inherent in mass food production have alerted the public and consumer groups to insist on increased safeguards and higher standards. Greater responsibility is being placed on everyone involved in the food chain from national governments to individual producers to ensure the safety of food products. As the level and extent of liability increases, so does the need for information on Europe’s response to tighter legal controls and increasing regulation. This new edition comprehensively updates the law and covers new issues such as the response to BSE and dioxin contamination, producer responsibility and liability for defective products, traceability for everyone in the food chain, the settings up of a new European Food Authority, EU/US trade relations under WTO Agreements, new Directives on labelling, food flavouring, dietary foods, food supplements, deliberate release of GMOs. “European food law” has already proved its value to those operating and advising in the European food industry as well as consumer groups, food agencies and government bodies.
