Food Standards Regulation The New Law

Food Standards Regulation: The New Law is an up-to-date, practical explanation of the system of food standards regulation in this country, focussing particularly on the changes introduced by the Food Standards Act 1999, it examines the powers of regulation and methods of enforcement of the new Food Standards Agency. Few topics are currently as controversial as food quality and safety. Now new legislation has been introduced which will seriously alter the way in which food safety is regulated and which has wide-ranging implications for the food industry as a whole and those who enforce legislation. The Food Standards Agency, set up in April 2000, regulates food safety and standards throughout the food chain. It has powers to commission research and to publish findings, regulate and monitor local authority enforcement, and even take over enforcement action in cases of failing authorities. The Agency will develop policy, provide advice to public authorities and the public, carry out research and have power of entry to carry out observations. Food Standards Regulation: The New Law sets out these crucial areas and will ensure all those whose role it is to enforce and comply with the new legislation are fully informed.
