Food legislation has important functions-it protects and sets the standard for the
market, and guarantees the safety of consumers. However, through the years, those
factors have changed due to the development of new foods, new habits, new
technologies and new discoveries. It is important that these new foods are in
accordance with some appropriate standard but it is also important to have flexible
legislation that is able to keep up with those changes.
