For the first time in legal literature this book analyses private law initiatives relating to the food chain, often referred to as private (voluntary) standards or schemes. Private standards are used to remedy flaws in legislation in order to reach higher levels of consumer protection than the ones chosen by the EU legislature and to manage risks and liability beyond the traditional limits of food businesses. We see that litigation is no longer solely framed by legislative requirements, but ever more by private standards such as GlobalGAP, BRC, IFS, SQF and ISO. These private standards incorporate public law requirements thus embedding them in contractual relations and exporting them beyond the jurisdiction of public legislators. This book also addresses how private standards play a role in defining specific markets of growing importance. It is noted that organic standards have found an interesting symbioses with public law. Another development on this topic is that food businesses are inspected more often by private auditors than by public inspectors. Effects in terms of receiving or being denied certification far outweigh public law sanctions. In short private law has changed an entire legal infrastructure for the food sector. It emerges as competing with the public law regulatory infrastructure. This book is of interest to all who concern themselves with food law legislation and litigation and the evolving role of private standards on changing the landscape of food chains and innovation.European Institute for Food Law series.Food law and legislationEuropean Union countriesFoodEuropean Union countriesSafety measuresFood adulteration and inspectionLaw and legislationEuropean Union countriesvoedselwetgevingzelfregulerendfood lawcodex alimentariusmaatstafprivate standardsself-regulationEuropean UnionFood safetyGLOBALG.A.PKashrutNetherlandsRoundtable on Sustainable Palm OilFood law and legislationFoodSafety measures.Food adulteration and inspectionLaw and legislation344.2404232van der Meulen Berndauth1363460Meulen B.
