Legal aspects of fluoride in salt, particularly within the EU.
In seven European countries there are national legal regulations, or salt producers have obtained individual authorisations, for the production and marketing of fluoridated edible salt. On the basis of EU mutual recognition rules, there are other countries which import fluoridated edible salt. All European countries practise salt fluoridation on a voluntary basis. In the near future, a European regulation is expected to supersede the national conditions.
