Materiały i wyroby przeznaczone do kontaktu z żywnością – wybrane aspekty prawne
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2012) Leśkiewicz, Katarzyna
Apart from food as such, food law also pertains to materials and articles that come in contact with food. It governs all types of material, including packaging, containers, glass or plastic bottles as well as printing ink used for labelling of foodstuffs, even if it may only potentially come in contact with food. Thus it is important to know how manufacturers of materials and articles intended for contact with food protect food from dangerous sub-stances that may permeate into it accidentally, or through an intentional release of such substances into food. The authoress concludes that although materials and articles that come in contact with food belong to industrial goods, food law regulations must be ac-counted for and manufacturers. Likewise, the latter are also liable for complying with the requirements of food law that aims to protect consumers ‘from the field to the table.’
