• With an increase in the migration of people and
  consumer goods, issues may arise about product
  safety since there are concerns due to
  contamination and incorrect product labelling
  that lead to product recall.
• This is where regulations are crucial.
  Regulations are instituted by authorities in
  respective countries and ensure the products are
  safe.
• Examples of regulatory bodies include the Food
  and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United
  States and the European Food Safety Authority
  (EFSA) in the European Union.
• Regulations influence every aspect of product
  development- from research and development (RD)
  to sourcing to marketing.
