Abstract: About the importance of food products, probably not much needs to be said. Regardless of the country, people's life is not possible without the consumption of food products. Like any other products, food products must have labels. The role of labels is basically the same as for any product: the label must inform the buyer or consumer about several aspects. An incomplete or incorrect label of a food product can lead to dangers for buyers or consumers. The interest in labeling food products all over the world is a big one, due to the importance of food products. And it is normal to be like that. In order to protect the consumer, all countries must have an appropriate legislative and institutional framework. Modern countries have these two tools necessary to defend the interests of their citizens, who are both buyers and consumers. The legislation of each country regulates which details must appear on the labels of food products. This reality has been reached in time, as a result of advances in consumer protection, especially consumer information. Practice shows that there are many problems caused by food labeling, and problems occur in all countries, regardless of their degree of development. The problem of irregularities encountered by consumers in the labelling of food products remains one of continued interest, at a global level.
