Abstract

This article seeks to investigate the possibility of the existence of a brazilian Food Law. With a view to foreign legal experiences, e.g. United States of America and European Union, old social issues such as hunger, food safety, trade barriers, intellectual property, etc. could be dealt with a new structuring and centralized approach. To this end, based on a bibliographic review, privileging the inductive method as a strategy for obtaining conclusions, four aspects of this hypothetical Food Law will be addressed, namely: the historical background, which contextualize the emergence of this new legal branch; its material object, through standardized definitions of food; with due repercussions on the autonomy of its epistemological statute; and brazilian legislative policy, as the elementary component of this new discipline.
