Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Irish Food Law: European Domestic and International Frameworks by Caoimhin Macmaolain
Food is a particularly important aspect of the Irish economy. In 2013 the Department of Agriculture Food and Marine estimated that turnover in the food and drink sector was over €26 billion. The sector continues to grow and has played a very significant role in Ireland’s economic recovery. This important new book provides a much needed overview of the field looking at: the history and development of food law; the relationship between international EU and domestic law; the key areas in food law; rules on free movement of food; food safety; food labelling and advertising; protected food names; nutrition obesity and health.
