Food law is a relatively young functional area of law addressing all legal and regulatory aspects of food, including production, distribution and trade. In the words of the “General Food Law; Regulation (EC) 178/2002”, food law encompasses 'the laws, regulations and administrative provisions governing food in general, and food safety in particular' covering 'any stage of production, processing and distribution of food, and also of feed produced for, or fed to, food producing animals'.
Adjacent economic regulations, human rights aspects of food, private and religious standards as well as the interaction between life science and law through the methodology of risk analysis are within the scope of the European Institute for Food Law series.
True to the function of legal scholarship in general to serve and advance legal practice, the European Institute for Food Law series presents scholarship that describes, analyses and explains food law in ways that advance academic understanding, are suitable for education and support practical application.
The European Institute for Food Law (Est. 04-04-2004) is a non-profit foundation aiming to advance the level of expertise and knowledge on food law, at national level, European level as well as global level. In cooperation with Brill | Wageningen Academic, it publishes the European Institute for Food Law series containing books on food law in the widest sense.
