Abstract

This chapter studies the regulation on food information to consumers, which was subject to immense industry lobbying and media attention. The chapter shows that the European Parliament did not live up to its previous reputation as a strong advocate of consumer interests. Prima facie, the regulation looks like a classic example of business bias in politics. However, a closer look at the regulation reveals that diffuse interests were not completely ineffective. Variation in business unity across issues within the dossier meant that business groups did not dominate all issues. Specific issues within the dossier created fissures within the food industry by pitting companies against each other.
