Abstract

In the Member States of the European Union, the European legislature has largely harmonized food law. Where Member States have still retained their own legislative power in the area of food law, they have implemented this in the form of national provisions. The German legislature has exercised its remaining legislative powers in the area of food law primarily by adopting a separate Code on Foods, Consumer Goods and Feedstuffs (Lebensmittel-, Bedarfsgegenstände- and Futtermittelgesetzbuch), in addition to various national ordinances and guidelines as well as enforcement provisions. In this chapter, relevant principles of German food law and regulation will be discussed and presented, including some fundamental rules on consumer and health protection, food ingredients, labeling, advertising and marketing as well as supervision, monitoring and enforcement of food law in Germany.
