 | | Foods of animal origin have to be hygienically flawless, must pose no health risk and must be as free from additives and impurities as possible. |
 | | Foodstuffs are, on the one hand, sources of nutrition which serve to develop and maintain the human body and, on the other, “recreational” beverages and foods which, when enjoyed in moderation, can enhance the quality of life. |
 | | The quality of the raw materials, in other words of the animals, plants, minerals and drinking water, must — if they are used for the manufacture of foodstuffs or as food — be such that the foods obtained from them do not pose a hazard to human health. |
