In the Czech Republic the food production is one of the most important branches of processing industry. The effort of producers, distributors and inspecting authorities is to limit the production of insanitary products as much as possible. That?s why there are a lot of inspecting mechanisms within the Czech Republic and also within the whole European Union. Their major aim is to reveal these insanitary and deceptively marked products and withdraw them from circulation. The requirements for marking of products aren?t simply and completely clearly defined even today, after the progressive harmonization with the prescriptions of the European Union. Concrete requirements for marking of foodstuff can be found in the Food Act No. 110/1997 Coll. and its implementing decrees including a special decree about the forms of marking of foodstuff No. 113/2005 Coll. Specific demands for marking of individual groups of products are given in decrees for particular commodities. It isn?t easy to draw up a comprehensive picture of all requirements for marking of a concrete product. In order to use the text on the cover, the consumer needs to know what?s hiding under certain words and what do the individual marks on the cover mean. The aim of the diploma thesis was to judge the compliance of legislation for marking of selected food products ? meat products, dairy products, spices and spice mixtures. The acquired information have been compared with a questionnaire research among consumers. It was an important finding that almost three quarters of respondents never had to reclaim a deceptively marked product. Unfortunately, 26.25 % of respondents met a deceptively marked product and that?s why they reclaimed it. In most cases the claim has been delt by repaying or exchange of goods; unfortunately, the claim of 9.5 % respondents hasn?t been accepted.
