The Rules of Liability in Food Safety

The sphere of food and animal feed safety is subject to strict state control, and a violation of the requirements ends for a business operator with fines, the suspension of a production process and other administrative penalties. The relevant Georgian code determines which nonconformity causes which consequence, how repetition is determined and by what rules the authorized person examines the case. This page gathers these rules so that the business operator sees the risks in advance and avoids the consequences.
