Riassunto
Covering food and feed law in England and Wales, this book is written for practitioners and students, Food Law covers developments, discusses matters of particular difficulty, explains the torrent of legislation putting it in to context and covers relevant case law using illustrative examples where possible.
The scope of food and feed law in England and Wales is ever widening. Brexit has had a huge impact, particularly on Consumer Law, and this is reflected in the new edition. The fourth edition covers:
- The effect of Brexit and retained EU Law- Implications of the Food Standards Agency’s ‘Regulating our Future’ agenda
- Major changes to hygiene legislation
- Sentencing Council and breach of food safety and food hygiene regulations
- Food Law Code of Practice 2021
- Food Information Regulations (FIR) and Natasha’s Law amendments.
It also covers the law in related fields such as marketing standards for agricultural products, community consumer protection as well as changes in the machinery of Government and covers the powers that have been given to DEFRA and the Department of Health and the decision by the Scottish Government to legislate and to take full control of Food Law for Scotland as a result of these powers.
