European food law provides for strict legal standards for foodstuffs, food ingredients and food packaging as well as for food labeling and advertising. Food manufacturers and distributors are therefore well advised to acquaint themselves with the applicable legal prerequisites before placing their products on the European market. Non-compliance with the pertinent requirements can have severe consequences, ranging from administrative fines via product withdrawals or recalls up to sensitive product liability. Relevant principles of European food law will be discussed and presented, including some fundamental rules on food labeling, packaging, hygiene, advertising and marketing, ingredients, required authorizations, health and nutrition claims, product liability and recalls. |
