Clarity in food labeling

 In the 4th completely revised edition, the author provides a clear commentary on the regulations of the LMIV and the LMIDV, as well as related implementing regulations and DVO (EU) 2018/775 on the indication of the country of origin or place of provenance of the primary ingredient of a food.

 Using concrete examples, current case law, and regulatory decisions, he answers, among other things, the following questions: What mandatory information must be on the label? What information must be provided in distance selling of food products? What applies to unpackaged goods? What must be considered regarding voluntary information and advertising claims? And what legal consequences are there for labeling errors?

 The LMIV commentary provides arguments for disputes with monitoring and law enforcement authorities, courts, and competitors. It is a helpful resource for anyone who creates and checks food labels, places unpackaged goods on the market, or sells food online.
