The paper aims to present the importance of the new European Food Law regulations regarding the novel labeling practices. (EU) Nr. 1169/2011 must have been applied in all EU countries until 13 December 2014, because 2 years later, all products without nutrition declaration will no longer be allowed to be put for sale. This new regulations contribute to the attainment of a high level of consumer protection, free movement of safe and wholesome food that contributes to health and well-being of citizens. Another important thing that we shall consider is that the application of these new regulations will guarantee that the consumers will be properly informed and any practices that could mislead the consumers will be prevented. In Romania, there are a few food producers that applied these new regulations, and that is a major concern for all potential buyers. In this paper is presented a case study that shows how a new product that needs to be put on the market, can be labeled within the limits of new EU regulation.
