Abstract
Application of bioprotection strategies in food preservation may be restricted by laws from different countries that may differ considerably in their fundamentals end practical effects. Some of them are related directly to addition of bioprotectants to foods, but others not less important may be related to apparently secondary aspects such as labelling, packaging, export, use of biological agents or genetically modified organisms.
