Resumen
Descripción
The European Union has developed a regulatory framework on food safety with the European
Regulation 178/2002. Simultaneously growing consumers’ exigencies on food safety can be
perceived. The European Regulation 178/2002 sets rules and procedures in the matter of food
safety that, in many aspects, are novelties. The operators’ responsibilities and the mandatory traceability
set by this regulation and put into practice since January 2005 are good examples of
these regulatory innovations. These dispositions have important implications on the practices
developed to ascertain food safety. The ‘traditional’ procedures indeed have been judged insufficient
in front of the new regulatory exigencies.
