REFORMS OF EEC FOOD LAWS
Abstract
Documents issued by the Commission of the European Communities presenting forthcoming EEC food law policy are discussed. The issues are of major importance to United Kingdom food manufacturers, processors and retailers, and include such subjects as: mutual recognition of food products; compositional standards; additives; labelling; food for particular nutritional uses; materials and articles in contact with food and irradiated foods. It is acknowledged that an urgent case for completing the internal market in food products exists but there is much concern about the inability of the UK government to protect food manufacturers and retailers under the new system.
