Food must be safe, otherwise it cannot be sold. Exceptional product quality and clear labelling is crucial to the market success of food. A variety of national and EU-wide legal standards cover food safety and labelling requirements. For some food, certain dairy products, fruit juices, and preserves for example, the recipe requirements have an impact on product quality. In addition, the generally accepted standards create market-related quality benchmarks which are described in the guidelines of the German Food Code and elsewhere.
