Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 and the national laws of 8 September 2022 creating and organising the Luxembourg Veterinary and Food Administration and of 26 April 2022 on official controls of agricultural products are the central legal foundations for food legislation in Luxembourg. Infringement of food regulations can lead to criminal penalties as well as emergency measures and administrative measures. Government measures with regard to food safety are often based on scientific risk assessments. However, the final decision on the legality of governmental measures rests with the courts.
