STUDIES ON NUTRITIONAL LABELING OF MEAT PRODUCTS IN ROMANIA.

This paper presents a part of the research results obtained within the FP7- PEOPLE-2012-IRSES- Project no. 318946-Nutritional Labeling study in Black Sea Region Countries. This study takes into consideration meat products from the nutritional labelling point of view, considering the EU requirements no. 432/2012, 1169/2011, 1333/2008 and 1924/2006. From 194 analyzed meat products, 20.10 % fulfilled all mandatory criterions. A special attention needs to be paid to the 3rd criterion related to allergens that can be found in many meat based products (soy, mustard, celery, lactose, egg, gluten, etc). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
