Summary
Details

While animal feed law rarely makes headline news, its contents are - and always have been - an important means by which the safety of the human food chain is secured.

Indeed, the very existence of UK food regulators in the form of the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) owes itself to a food crisis which certainly was headline grabbing: ""mad cow"" disease.

That disease, at its peak in the 1980s and 1990s, known properly as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or BSE, was almost certainly brought about by the since banned practice of feeding ruminant animal protein to cattle.

Since those times, feed law has been tightened and refined and arguably now forms an important and distinct element of European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) food law.

This book draws together and examines animal feed law in a practical way. It will be a helpful resource for regulatory lawyers who need a quick introduction to the topic, and it provides a valuable text for feed enforcement officials or policy specialists, in both local and central government. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to develop their understanding about how feed for animals is regulated in the UK.
