Classification of quality indicators of marking food products

One of the current trends in today's market is its saturation with food products in a huge assortment and of various quality. Providing the market with high-quality and safe goods is one of the main tasks of state policy. Food labeling is a very important indicator of its quality, since it is the only indicator that informs consumers about the properties of the product. To date, the regulatory documentation in the field of food labeling provides an informational list of elements that the labeling must contain, a minimum font size is established, there are instructions in the field of font contrast and the main background, but a direct assessment of the quality of food labeling according to certain the documents do not provide for indicators. Previous studies have made it possible to identify consumer characteristics of labeling performance that are important for consumers and transform them into indicators of the quality of food product labeling that are applicable to its assessment. However, these indicators of the quality of the performance of food labeling do not have a clear classification and need a strict systematization, which will reveal the scope for each of them. This article attempts to classify indicators of the quality of food labeling performance. The main classification features have been identified, according to which it is possible to group the quality indicators of food labeling performance. For each feature, the corresponding classification groupings are formed. The proposed classification will make it possible to determine the place of each indicator in the general system, as well as the area of their application.
