Welcome to the home page of 'Foodlaw-Reading'. Based at the University of Reading, UK, the site is maintained by Dr David Jukes. It seeks to provide easy access to sources of information on current food laws and its development. The main focus is on the UK and the EU although some additional information in international developments is also provided (especially issues linked to Codex and the WTO). It is hoped that it will also help those seeking to learn about and understand food law issues. Please note that it is maintained as time permits and updates may at times be delayed.
Brexit The UK left the EU at the end of 2020. Since 1 January 2021, UK legislation (except for Northern Ireland) is now separate from that of the European Union. These pages have been updated to reflect this change. For more details, see: UK Food Law - EU Legislation as Amended for the UK Although the legal basis changed, most requirements relating to the sale of food products in the United Kingdom did not change. Changes to EU legislation since the UK left are not part of UK legislation - divergence in the requirements will become increasingly apparent. |
