The Legal Regime of Non-Compliant Products
Legal liability built on the unsuitability or counterfeiting of food and animal feed is gathered in Georgia in the liability chapter of the Food and Feed Safety Code, and it rests on the business operator: the existence or discovery of non-compliance, the placing of expired products on the market and the breach of labelling rules are each punished with a separate fine. The actual subject is the administrative liability for placing non-compliant and expired products on the market. A boundary is noted as well: a consumer's civil claim over quality belongs to the regime of the Civil Code and lies outside this page; what is explained here is regulatory liability.
