Food Laws
Way to JRF
Let's crack it.
• The basic food law is intended to assure consumers that foods are
pure and wholesome, safe to eat, and produced under sanitary
conditions.
• Generally, food law prohibits distribution of food products that are
adulterated, or have labels that are false or misleading in any context.
