Sažetak
Customers always expect safe and quality food on the table. Does this sentiment embraces the authenticity? The European Commission organized in 2015 a control plan coordinated at European Union level to assess the prevalence on the market of honey adulterated with sugars and honeys mislabelled with regard to their botanical source or geographical origin. Results from Croatia were interesting regarding both, quality and authenticity, so there is need to do some more investigation on that matter. Recently, problems have been also identified with fish and horse meat, herbs and spices, wine, vegetable oils and dairy products, amongst others. Should food business operators implement some new rapid methods for detection, are the official laboratories sufficiently equipped and are inspectors trained enough? Certainly there is a need to establish fingerprint of each authentic foodstuff, and solid cooperation of regional laboratories to improve the control of raw materials and ready to eat food. Also, FoodIntegrity project of EU should also address many of these issues in sense of authenticity and traceability and help the consumer rights worldwide.
