    (Addis Ababa,University, 2024-05) Tsigereda Kemal; Mizanie Abate (Associate Professor)
    Consumer protection has become a growing subject of inquiry with the fast expansion of manufactured goods such as food all over the world. The objective of this study is to evaluate the policy, legislative, and implementation measures taken by the Ethiopian government to protect consumers against the consumption of expired foods. The study used a blend of doctrinal and non-doctrinal research methodologies and employed different data collection tools to gather necessary data from informant interviews and observations. Relevant international and regional human rights treaties and standards as well as national policies and laws on consumer protection on the right to food and the right to health were explored. The findings of the study revealed that the protection of the rights of consumers in Ethiopia against expired food is weak due to the lack of comprehensive legislation, inefficient supervisory organs, operational gaps among businesses, and consumers' own lack of awareness.
