Filling a distinct need in the globalized food economy, this introductory reference distils the key facts and regulations from the food laws of ten major countries across four continents.
The result is a truly global survey of the world's most important food markets in terms of regulatory standards, principles and the authorities involved. The tried-and-tested concept behind the book originates from a regular summer school on food law for non-lawyers organized by the editors, and dispenses with formalized legal language such that the content may be used by food specialists without a law degree.
By virtue of its systematic structure, the book allows different market conditions to be easily compared, and global trends in food legislation can be followed. Key facts for food producers active on the international market, who often lack the time and resources to refer to the primary laws and legal commentaries.
