Abstract

The European Union's food safety policy aims to protect consumers' health by ensuring compliance with production and control rules, hygiene of agri-food products and preventing their contamination with harmful substances. In its first stage, this objective can be applied in the Republic of Moldova, an EU candidate country, by implementing the ISO 22000 and ISO 22005 food safety management system, which establishes the basic requirements for the design and application of a traceability system for food and agri-food products. The study focused on identifying food and agri-food enterprises in the Republic of Moldova, which are certified by the ISO 22000 and ISO 22005 international standards. The advantages of these certifications and the barriers encountered were identified as well. In order to achieve this objective, there was carried out the survey according to the Computer Assisted Web Interviewing (CAWI) method, based on the completion of an online questionnaire created with the help of Google Drive.
