ROSETTA European and international public Food Marketing Standards

The Public Marketing Standards Dataset compiles a comprehensive collection of European and international public marketing standards relevant to the four food commodities under study in the ROSETTA Project (Grant Agreement No. 101136427):i) fruits and vegetables,ii) dairy products,iii) cereals, andiv) meat. The dataset is organized in an Excel file and serves as a central reference source for understanding how marketing standards are defined and applied across these sectors. It facilitates the comparison and analysis of regulatory frameworks and quality definitions for selected representative products within each commodity group. Each commodity is represented by a specific product example, for which information has been gathered as follows: Fruits and Vegetables (Apples)The dataset includes information on: Definition of produce Minimum quality requirements Provisions concerning quality, including maturity requirements, classification, colouring, sizing, tolerances, presentation, and marking/labelling Additional marketing standards and quality provisions Meat (Chicken)The dataset covers: Scope and definitions Minimum requirements Specific requirements for production Labelling requirements Additional standards Dairy Products (Skimmed Milk Powder)The dataset provides: Scope and description/definition Minimum requirements and composition Quality characteristics and food additives Contaminants and hygiene provisions Labelling rules and additional standards Cereals (Durum Wheat)The dataset contains: Scope and description General and specific quality and safety factors Contaminants and hygiene requirements Packaging and labelling provisions Additional standards This dataset supports the ROSETTA Project’s objective to analyse marketing standards across the food commodities. It provides valuable input for identifying regulatory differences, quality parameters, and trade implications within the agri-food sector. The structured dataset can be used by researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to better understand how public marketing standards influence market access, consumer information, and food quality assurance across the EU and internationally.
