Evaluation of Food Safety and Quality Regulations in Nigeria
Ensuring high level of food safety and quality is necessary to provide adequate protection for consumers. Unsafe and poor quality food products have dire negative impacts on the economy and public well-being, which justifies government intervention in every country to ensure food safety. This study doctrinally interrogates the legal and institutional framework for food safety and quality in Nigeria with a view to ascertain whether extant laws and regulatory institutions put in place to regulate food safety and quality in the country are adequate.
