23Article 14(1), (2), (7) and (8) of Regulation No 178/2002 thus allows competent national authorities to take appropriate measures to impose restrictions on food being placed on the market or to require its withdrawal from the market, despite its conformity to specific provisions of EU law which are applicable to it, where those authorities have objective reasons to suspect that that food is unsafe. That provision, having regard to its importance for the attainment of a high level of protection of human health and consumer interests, in accordance with Article 1(1) of that regulation, must be interpreted broadly.
