Abstract

Legislation in food is quite fragmented, it includes several regulations, amendments due to the rapid development both in the studied area and the influence of European law. It is a legal branch of a relatively hybrid nature. It contains agricultural legislation that intersects with environmental law. It also affects administrative, financial, and criminal law as a branch of public law. Nor can commercial and civil law as the basis of private law be circumvented here. The legal norm has undergone a relatively interesting development, which is characterized by several amendments. During the more than 25 years of validity of this legal norm, a total of more than twenty amendments. This certainly does not contribute to the stability of the legislation, the legal certainty of the entities concerned, or its clarity and system. The article provides an overview of the development of the legal regulation of the Food Act in Slovakia from 1995 to 2021.

Food Act No 152/1995 Coll (NR SR, 1995a) is a basic norm of food law in Slovakia This is a legal sector of a relatively hybrid nature. Contains requirements related to agriculture and food production and the environment It affects administrative, financial, and criminal law as a branch of public law. It is food businesses operators, it is the European Union and the Member States that must protect food safety as part of their policies, and it is consumers who have their requirements. Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council No 2020/1828 of 25 November 2020 (EU, 2020) by wildcard actions to protect collective interests of consumers are opening new space and how they are planning in the Czech Republic, the Slovak Ministry of Justice is not concerning such a change. The Slovak Ministry of Justice wants to wait until the European Directive enters into force (and it can be a tool for solving the dual quality of food)
