Foodlaw-Reading

These pages have been prepared by Dr David Jukes, Senior Lecturer in Food Regulation at the University of Reading to assist students taking courses in food law. The site has teaching materials and information on the law relating to additives and food labelling. There are legal news items concerning food law in the UK, the EU, CODEX, FAO and WHO, from 1996 onwards. <p> Links are provided to food legislation for the United Kingdom and European Union. UK links go back to 1995; some legislation is listed back to 1959, but the site does not profess to be complete.
