This book provides a broad conspectus on the application of EU and
international regulation of the food sector on English law. It is
aimed at practitioners and students of this vital and emerging
branch of law, which has become an important part of current
political and legal debate. It is written not just for lawyers as a
statement of current law, but is also aimed at all those involved
or interested in the food industry who wish to familiarise
themselves with how the law is applied practically in this
jurisdiction. The book commences with a short conceptual framework
for the study of food law. It then provides a comprehensive and
up-to-date account of current English law, explaining fully the
detailed processes by which both international and national law and
EU decision making have impacted upon most aspects of the
production, sale and consumption of food in England. The book
explains and assesses the operation of the current law by
describing in detail the roles of Government, the Food Standards
Agency and local enforcement authorities in the making and
enforcing of laws concerning food. The work contains full outlines
of the developments in the most significant areas of food law. It
concentrates specifically on topics such as food labelling and
advertising, quality and compositional requirements, geographical
food names, genetic modification, organic production, animal
welfare and also the role of law in tackling poor health, obesity,
and diet-related disease. The book, though primarily designed as a
law text, goes beyond the usual confines of such works. It sets out
to explain and describe the impact of successive food crises, such
as BSE and the use of horsemeat in beef products, on food safety
and transparency requirements. The book considers and assesses how
the existing rules on the chemical and biological safety of food
impact on our law, and concludes with a review of the developing
legal issues concerning the environmental impacts of current and
proposed food law, in particular the relationship between food law,
climate change and food security.
