European food regulation
Food manufacturers are facing a bewildering array of consumer protectionist regulation which can fundamentally affect the manner and cost of operation. When coupled with eager enforcement authorities and a constant stream of new regulatory proposals from Brussels, food manufacturers, distributors and retailers need to be alert both to the risk of enforcement and, where appropriate, the opportunity to influence the regulators.
Some of the regulations we advise clients on include:
-
health and nutrition claims
-
hygiene of foodstuffs
-
controls on animal origins
-
common agricultural policy
-
weights and measures
-
plastics in contact with food
-
packaging.
