In France, chemical expertise was made central to food safety policy when the law on the repression of fraud was passed in 1905. Far from being seen as a necessity it at first generated vigorous controversies. Most of the producers denounced its lack of reliability and its failure to understand business, especially since chemical expertise challenged more traditional state‐of‐the‐art expertise. It thus had to gain credibility. This was achieved through a social and political process which grounded expertise in business practices rather than in the ambition to determine them
