Quality and safety of goods in modern conditions

Abstract

We studied the safety of food products in the face of increasing risks of falsification. The methods of identification and quality assessment of some groups of goods are considered. The statistics of supplies of imported goods during the economic crisis are given. The problem of falsification of products arose in Russia in the 90s due to the abolition of the mandatory application of standards and state acceptance of products, the introduction of free enterprise, the reorganization of control and veterinary services. The production of domestic products at the state level has stopped. The amount of agricultural land used has decreased. To streamline the problem, laws and technical regulations (TR) were adopted, which are designed for potentially hazardous products and provide for its circulation on the market only after confirming that the products comply with the TR requirements. However, the problem of falsification of products today remains quite acute. Various aspects of product safety are considered. The information on the types of hazards arising from the consumption of food products associated with factors such as: packaging materials; the use of harmful technologies in the production of food products; growing agricultural products of plant and animal origin with excessive use of stimulants for various purposes. In order to protect public health, this information should be available to consumers of these products. Marking should carry complete information about the product. Eco-labeling should appear on safe products. The government should tighten control over the production of food raw materials and food products, as well as encourage producers of environmentally friendly products.
