For Quarantine, Sanitary And Health Laws And Regulations we have a term and definition in Customs.

Government measures to protect consumer, animal and plant health by regulating the use of dangerous preservatives and other additives in foods. The lack of internationally accepted standards makes it difficult to distinguish between legitimate health standards and protectionist measures. A Uruguay Round agreement covering sanitary and phytosanitary standards will recognize norms set by specified international standard-setting bodies as the baseline standards for trade, ensure to the maximum extent possible that standards are scientifically justifiable, and for the first time, establish a meaningful dispute settlement procedure for health and sanitary issues.
