Irregularities and sanctions for food labels and menus. A detailed analysis in the new book by Dario Dongo, “1169 PENALTIES”
The label that omits information to the consumer, the restaurant menu that is silent about food allergens present in the dishes served, the glaring irregularities in food sales via e-commerce, what consequences do they cause? The new e-book by Dario Dongo, ‘1169 PENALTIES – EU Reg. 1169/11. News on food, controls and sanctions’ explains how to provide the consumer with the information prescribed by EU Reg. 1169/11 and what sanctions are provided by Legislative Decree 231/17 for the respective violations.
Dario Dongo, lawyer and journalist expert in European food law, offers in this book a detailed analysis of the rules on the subject, with numerous examples, from both the perspective of responsible operators and the authorities responsible for controls.
The regulations under examination concern all operators in the agri-food chain, from the farm to the fork. A broad and varied sector that accounts overall for 13.2% of employment and 8.7% of GDP.
‘To consumers in Italy – 61 million residents and 403 million tourists every year – must be guaranteed the rights to information that are still often unknown, unfortunately’, says Dario Dongo. ‘The best wish is therefore the restoration of legality.
The subject is constantly evolving, at the regulatory and interpretative level. We therefore proceed, as always, to share further updates on our sites www.greatitalianfoodtrade.it e www.foodagriculturerequirements.com’.
