Our job is to help make Europe's
citizens healthier, safer and more confident.
Over the years the European Union has
established EU laws on the safety of food and
other products, on consumers' rights and on

The Directorate General for 'Health and Consumers' has the task of keeping

manufacturers and food producers in their
country observe the rules. Nonetheless, part
