To all appearances, Europe is at present undergoing a crisis of consumer confidence with respect to the food industry. Recent food scares, the genetically-modified food controversy, a growing public awareness of the environmental footprint of intensive farming methods, and a perceived threat to the deeply-held European cultural values surrounding diet and cuisine all have combined to expose the vulnerability of consumers in the very ordinary activity of purchasing food. Although the creation of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in February 2002 can be viewed as an EU response to this crisis, it in fact represents an inevitable milestone in a body of food-specific European legislation and case law that has been growing for many years. The EFSA does, however, clearly establish food law as an autonomous branch of EU law. This is the first book to survey and analyse this body of law in depth, drawing together the relevant laws and cases and taking stock of the trends and likely future developments in this dynamic and emotive area of law and policy. elucidates the scope of European food law by investigating several avenues and facets of the subject, including the following: its underpinnings in Article 3 of the EC Treaty, on the free movement of goods; the principle of mutual recognition among Member States; case law developments concerning composition of foodstuffs, labelling, sales promotion, advertising, and other aspects of food production and distribution; aims and policies of the January 2000 White Paper on Food Safety issued by the European Commission; appropriate hygiene standards; and authorisation and labelling of GMOs. Because food is such a central and essential element in society, food law has far-reaching economic, social, and environmental consequences. And because Europe's new food safety regime is intended, by an extraordinary unanimity of Member States and major political groups, to be the most up-to-date and effective in the world, a broad range of legal practitioners and scholars, social scientists, and policymakers will greatly appreciate this thoroughgoing and insightful analysis

Concern is growing throughout Europe over the safety of food products. 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. It will also help international companies and countries trading with the EU to appreciate and comply with the stringent rules and regulations affecting food production and distribution
