Author

Listed:
  • Caswell, Julie A.

Abstract

This bibliography contains citations of research on Federal and State regulations of food product safety and quality. The annotated portion emphasizes articles on jurisdictional conflict between Federal and State regulations of food products and the use of Federal preemption to limit conflict. The second portion is a bibliography of economic, legal, and public health research on regulatory policies and individual Federal and State food regulations. It is organized into four subsections: regulatory theory and effects, food purity and safety regulations, food standards and labeling regulations, and food selling practices regulations.
