However, another factor which can delay legislation is the need to agree to joint action internationally. Membership of the EU means that the UK has very little freedom to act unilaterally on food labelling. International obligations in the World Trade Organisation also constrain unilateral action which cannot be justified on narrowly defined grounds of safety or national security. 5 An enforcement perspective D. 1 Introduction Recent food scares and the corresponding media interest in the food industry have raised the issue of food labelling and the profile of food law enforcement to an unprecedented level.
This is all usefully identified in the JFSSG Compendium. Reference has been made above to the general requirements of the Trades Description Act. Also relevant to the total labelling of foodstuffs are the Weights and Measures Act 1985, and applicable subsidiary legislation and The Food (Lot Marking) Regulations 1996. Manufacturers will need to consider their legal responsibilities to particular groups of consumers. In this respect, the provisions of The General Product Safety Regulations 1994 may be relevant in requiring that in producing a ‘safe product’ which does not present any risk, or only the minimum risks compatible with the product’s use, manufacturers take into account a number of factors including the labelling of the product, any instructions for its use and disposal and the categories of consumers at serious risk when using the product, in particular children.
