Abstract:

The field of food law is constantly evolving, driven by emerging challenges and complexities in the global food system. This abstract provides a succinct overview of contemporary issues in food law, focusing on the key legal concerns and regulatory dilemmas facing policymakers, consumers, and food industry stakeholders. This paper highlights four major themes in contemporary food law: Overview of Food Law, food safety and traceability, labelling and claims, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and Food waste reduction initiatives. It explores the legal frameworks and regulations that govern these areas, examining their effectiveness, challenges, and potential solutions.

The analysis reveals the pressing need for comprehensive and adaptive food safety regulations to address emerging risks and the importance of accurate and transparent food labelling to empower consumers. Ultimately, this abstract serves as a starting point for further exploration and discussion on the ever-evolving landscape of food law, urging stakeholders to navigate these complex issues with a commitment to ensuring safe, transparent, and sustainable food systems for all.
