Food safety to everyone's taste?
A USDA Foreign Agricultural Service review of developments in EU food safety regulations noted that as EU food safety regulations evolve, imported products could come under increasing scrutiny, in some cases requiring new or additional documentation. However the view was expressed that if the new regulations increase consumer confidence, and are uniformly applied, then all suppliers, including third country suppliers, will benefit. Comment: ACP suppliers will need to keep a record of the cost increasing effects of new regulations in order to assist ACP governments in taking up the issue of ensuring that genuine EU food safety concerns do not become new regulatory barriers to trade.
