A brief assessment on the ability of sections 7, 8 and 9 of the english food safety act 1990 to deal with the sale and supply of unsafe food

Başta İngiltere ve Avrupa’nın diğer ülkelerinde yaşanan gıda kay- naklı salgın hastalıkların yarattığı kamu baskısı neticesiyle hazırlanan 1990 tarihli İngiliz Gıda Güvenliği Kanunu, esas olarak güvenli olmayan gıda- larla mücadele etme hususunda, 7, 8 ve 9. maddelerindeki düzenlemeler sayesinde önemli adımlar atmakla birlikte, yeni ihtiyaçlar ve teknolojik gelişmeler karşısında kısmen yetersiz kalmıştır. Her ne kadar, Avrupa Bir- liği düzenlemeleri ile revize edilmiş olsa da, gıda sektöründeki hızlı geliş- meler, İngiliz hukukunun bu alanında yeni yasal düzenlemelerin yapılma- sını gerekli kılmaktadır.

1990 Tarihli ingiliz gıda güvenliği kanunu'nun 7, 8 ve 9. maddelerindeki düzenlemelerin güvenli olmayan gıdalarla mücadele etme hususunda etkinliklerinin değerlendirilmesi

1990 English Food Safety Act was enacted especially to ease the public concern on serious food scares in Britain and in other European countries. It can be accepted that 1990 Food Safety Act was successful to deal with the sale and supply of unsafe food because of the provisions in sections 7, 8 and 9. However, due to the new requirements and technologi- cal developments, these provisions became insufficient partially. Even though the Food Safety Act 1990 was revised by the European Union regu- lations, the fast progress of food sector proved that UK law system needs some new provisions to deal with the sale and supply of unsafe food.
