The aim of the European Institute for Food Law is to advance the level of expertise on food law, at national level, European level and global level.
The concept of food law is taken in a broad sense. It includes food law as defined in EU regulation 178/2002 ‘the laws, regulations and administrative provisions governing food in general, and food safety in particular’ covering ‘any stage of production, processing and distribution of food, and also of feed produced for, or fed to, food producing animals’, but also adjacent economic regulations and human rights aspects of food.
