System of guaranteed quality of eggs in relation to EU Regulations and consumer demands

Abstract

In developed countries of the world most of the people live healthy if we consider globally the quality of life. Recently, "quality" has become very important in many spheres of living. In this regard, it is necessary to know how the quality of egg is defined. Production and marketing of eggs in European Union is done according to two Regulations which determine compliance of table eggs in certain traits of egg quality and market conditions. In this paper some more important parts of the Regulations (No 1907/90 and No 1274/91) are presented which closely define traits of egg quality and effects of numerous factors on quality of eggs.

U razvijenim zemljama sveta većina ljudi živi zdravo ako se globalno govori o kvalitetu života. Poslednjih godina "kvalitet" je postao veoma značajan u mnogim sferama života. U tom smislu, potrebno je znati kako se definiše kvalitet jaja. Proizvodnja i plasman jaja u Evropskoj Uniji se odvija u skladu sa dve Regulative kojima su propisane određene osobine kvaliteta jaja i uslovi tržišta koje moraju zadovoljiti konzumna jaja. U radu su izneti neki važniji članovi Regulative (No 1907/90 i No 1274/91) koji bliže definišu osobine kvaliteta jaja i uticaje mnogobrojnih faktora na kvalitet jaja.
