Abstract
As a consequence of the multiple food scandals in Europe during the last two decades of the 20th Century, such as the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE, or mad cow disease) and the dioxin contamination of chicken feed in Belgium, the European Commission drew the first rules requiring the implementation of traceability in food chains at the Union level. This chapter looks closer at how the European Union body of law related to food traceability came into being, what the legal text entails, what are the consequences of this text, and if the approach of the legislature is consistent throughout the legal norms.
