A volume in Food Science and Technology
2014, Pages 309–326
The
chapter deals with issues of technical regulation in the field of
production and circulation of food supplements, functional foods and
foods for special dietary uses in the territory of the Russian
Federation. Over the last few years, a number of fundamental documents
have been issued each of them securing state guarantees in relation to
foods as well as maintenance and promotion of public health and diet
related disease prevention. These documents include: Russian Federation
Food Security Doctrine, Russian Federation Policy Framework on Healthy
Public Nutrition for the period through to 2020, a number of national
standards setting requirements for quality of functional foods, and some
new technical regulations. The main aspects to be regulated are:
questions of state registration, manufacturing requirements and control,
quality and safety requirements, compliance assessment procedures, and
nutritional and health claims labeling. In addition, the authors have
analyzed the changes introduced to legislation and regulatory system due
to Russia`s accession to the World Trade Organization and formation of
the Customs Union of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and
the Republic of Kazakhstan.
