Abstract:

This article is a study of the organizational and legal problems of ensuring the quality of food products in Russia. This problem is analyzed in the context of the implementation of the constitutional right of citizens of the Russian Federation to protect their health. According to the authors, the task of realizing this right in Russia is facing a number of problems, one of which is the lack of an effective mechanism that guarantees the quality of food products to the consumer. It is noted that high-quality and safe food products are a condition for ensuring the right to health protection, which is perfectly understood by the Russian legislator, who consolidated this provision in the basic law regulating the sphere of health protection - Federal Law №323-FZ of 21.11.2011 «On the fundamentals of protecting citizens' health in the Russian Federation» (article 18).
