Food Laws and Regulations

Catalog description

This course provides a perspective to the principles and practice of food law and regulation as they impact the work of a food scientist. Food law will be discussed with reference to the roles of politics, culture, ethics (including social justice issues), science and business. The learning approach to this course uses case studies, problem solving, class discussions, and review of current topics. While some examples will be globally relevant, the focus of the course is on the regulation of food in the US.
