food and beverage law

Food and beverage law encompasses regulations that ensure the safety, quality, and labeling of food and drink products. It covers standards for production, processing, packaging, and distribution, aiming to protect consumers from contamination, misbranding, and false advertising. Laws vary by jurisdiction but generally require compliance with health codes, proper ingredient disclosure, and accurate nutritional information. Businesses must adhere to licensing, sanitation, and safety protocols to prevent health risks. These laws help maintain public trust, support fair commerce, and ensure that food and beverages are safe for consumption.
