Regulatory Impact on Food Product Development in the European Union

Regulatory Aspects of Product Development in the European Union examines the effects of legislation and voluntary agreements when formulating products. With detailed coverage of the entire product development cycle, from concept thorough to the market-place, this book provides a definitive guide to developing products within a regulatory framework. The book is split into four main sections. The first section looks at the background to the agreements which make up the framework with coverage of novel food ingredients, additives and their alternatives, and the development of EU nutrition policy. The second section describes developing a product for various markets which require consideration of regulatory agreements - clean labels, gluten-free, specific health claims, are covered as well as others. Post launch considerations, such as consumer-acceptance, and advertising and marketing of the products are covered in the third section. The final part of the book looks beyond the European Union with chapters covering the regulatory frameworks of the US and beyond, and how this affects product development in these markets. This book is a valuable resource for commercial product developers, food scientists and technologists, technical managers within the food industry, as well as for policy makers and regulators for the food industry.
