Abstract

In this article the author is focusing on the position and status of consumer protection laws on Industrial Processed Food in Tanzania taking into account that in reality the consumer is all the time the end user and very weak compared to the counterparts who is stronger and used to take advantage to mislead in order to win the market. The increase of demand of the industrial processed food in the market now days results to the increase of risks to consumer since the target of supplier or manufacturer is always to monopolise the market and earn profit through taking an advantage of the gap of law existing in case the food processed being sold in the market is substandard. And cause injuries to consumer It is the concern by the author that the increase on demand of industrial processed food in the market by consumer must go together with intervention of the government through modification of our laws which will harmonise the risk.

The Consumer protection laws which must be derived from the constitution must provide to consumer among other rights, the rights to satisfy basic needs, right to safety, right to be informed, right to choose, right to be heard, right to redress, right to a health environment.
