Overview

This title provides a clear and authoritative guide both to key legislation in the EU and the US, and to good international practice in such areas as traceability and instructions for storage and use.The last decade of the 20th century has seen new labelling needs. The advent of genetically modified foods and irradiated foods has necessitated the development of new labelling provisions to facilitate informed consumer choice. The belated recognition by legislators and industry that food allergy can be life threatening, and is a major food safety issue, has led to the need for label warnings about the presence of major food allergens. This text covers all these issues and more.
