Regulatory issues and retailer requirements: EU food hygiene law and implications for food factory design

This chapter analyzes the conditions set for the design of food factories by four types of EU food hygiene legislation. The chapter opens with a description of the objectives of EU food hygiene law in the setting of the General Food Law (GFL). The fundamental concepts of the GFL and the procedures based on the hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) principles are expected to contribute most to the legal context for food factory design. Direct regulation provides the minimum threshold and the guides to good practice have to be developed.
