Tricolor pe etichetă, ingrediente din import. Cum sunt păcăliţi cumpărătorii

The use of the Romanian flag on product labels misleads consumers about the origin of ingredients. Many products marketed as Romanian contain imported components, violating legal standards. Authorities encourage buyers to report such discrepancies instead of enforcing regulations. Despite a strong preference for local products among consumers, misleading labeling practices persist, particularly in dairy and processed foods. Retailers capitalize on the appeal of 'Romanian' branding, with a significant portion of producers registered in the country. However, true compliance with the law regarding local sourcing remains inconsistent.
