Abstract

The European Union has developed certification schemes for the quality of food products, offering consumer guarantees, protecting regional culinary specialties and supporting the use of traditional shredding techniques. At the national level, in Romania, there are other schemes and characteristics that producers need to comply in order to obtain the certification. Nowadays there is much emphasis on food safety, as the globalization phenomena is more and more increasing and the food chain is more complex. This paper aims to provide an overview on the European quality schemes for foods regulation as well as Romanian national schemes and also to emphasis the need of traditional foods knowledge development.
