Abstract

Although the EU regulations on novel foods came into force in the 1990s, the threat of a famine and food crisis in Europe has appeared to such an extent only in recent years. The concept of novel foods, which can address challenges, is nevertheless associated with several ethical issues. In the individual aspect, it is the possibility of using widely innovative methods to produce food that successfully replaces meat or provides an alternative to sugar. On a broader scale, it is a replacement of products that are too expensive for the environment (i.e., greenhouse effect, deforestation) to provide an additional, entirely separate source of nutrition. This paper seeks to answer the research question regarding the role of law in the process of developing the concept of novel foods, with particular reference to whether and how the law addresses the ethical challenges that are posed by the novel foods. In addition to the main conclusions (multi-faceted dimension of novel foods, ethical and moral barriers to overcome), future prospects are also presented.

新型食品与欧盟法律:面对道德底线
尽管欧盟关于新型食品的法规早在上世纪90年代就开始实施,但欧洲出现饥荒和粮食危机的威胁是最近几年才出现的。尽管可以解决挑战的新型食品的概念与几个伦理问题有关。在个人方面,它是使用广泛创新的方法来生产食物,成功地取代肉类或提供糖的替代品的可能性。在更广泛的范围内,它是替代那些对环境过于昂贵的产品(即温室效应、森林砍伐),以提供额外的、完全独立的营养来源。本文旨在回答关于法律在开发新型食品概念过程中的作用的研究问题,特别是关于法律是否以及如何解决新型食品所带来的伦理挑战。除了主要结论(新型食品的多面性、需要克服的伦理和道德障碍)外,还提出了未来的展望。
