2016 Food policy

Report of the Special Rapporteur on the right to food, par. 97 (2016)

Text of the recommendation

97. Recognizing that industry self-regulation is ineffective, Governments should impose strong regulatory systems to ensure that the food industry does not violate citizens’ human rights to adequate food and nutrition. It is recognized, however, that such efforts may face formidable resistance from a food industry seeking to protect its economic interests.
