The EU General Food Law

The EU General Food Law is a set of rules that ensures all food sold within the European Union is safe, high-quality, and properly labeled. It requires food businesses to follow strict safety standards, trace food sources, and promptly manage any food safety issues. The law also emphasizes transparency, encouraging consumers to make informed choices. Its goal is to protect public health, support fair trade, and build trust in the food supply chain across all EU member states by creating consistent, comprehensive regulations for food production, processing, and distribution.
