Abstract: The evolution of alimentation is essentially linked to the progress of knowledge in various fields and is permanently under the necessity to ensure a continuous balance in the ratio nutrients-effort or traditional aliment - new one. The majority of developed countries currently study, through specialized bodies, the influence of incorrect alimentation on the population's health, trying to find solutions and propose corrections. In Romania, the lack of real preoccupation for the matter is noticeable, and the necessity of a reform in the alimentation manner and in informing the population concerning health assurance and the prevention of alimentary diseases is powerfully felt. In this context, a change of mentality and attitude is needed, which means the initiation of a campaign for informing and educating the population, in the spirit of correct and equilibrated alimentation. The functional food market from our country is a developing market, regarding existing and potential demand.
