As it happens, when this query first came through, I had been specifically  
researching the medieval French statutes which applied to bread. If anyone 
wants  some idea of what these covered in Paris, that's part of what I look 
at in my  latest blog post (on late medieval bread):

A number of similar ones existed for various regional towns or cities as  
well. I'll be looking at those next.

I came  across a resource that I had not considered in the past: books  that
describe the professions people held. ,,,I am aware that similar  statutes 
are cited concerning the production of bread and  beverages.
