Abstract:

Responsibility for food producers is not just about product?s quality but first of all about the safety. Final consumer should have all the information required about potential allergenic foods and possible implication for health. It is important that one universal code could help to represent potential hazards. YOPI category (young, old, pregnancy and immunodeficiencies) needs to be protected specifically from food that could be potentially harmful in that specific category. To easily get the right information in that regard, some specific paints and colours could be used. For example a red colour could be used to strongly warn people with heart conditions (example salty food in people with systemic hypertension and heart failure), sugary food in people with diabetes, raw seafood in immuno depressed. A yellow triangle could be suggested for show an important hazard (example pregnant need to be advised against potential presence of toxoplasma in some raw vegetables). By using this simple advice consumers have a proactive opportunity for preventing many dangerous events that could threaten their health.
