Abstract: Ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural products is a strategic state task. In recent years, special attention has been paid to this topic in Russia. President of Russia V.V. Back in 2015, Putin formulated the task of creating a national food quality management system (order dated June 26, 2015 N, Pr-1259). The Federal Law “On the Development of Agriculture” also states that one of the most important goals of domestic agricultural policy is to increase the competitiveness of Russian agricultural products and agricultural producers, and to ensure the high quality of Russian food products. Ensuring the quality of food products is enshrined in the Doctrine of Food Security of Russia, the strategic goal of which is to provide the country's population with safe, high-quality and affordable agricultural products, raw materials and food in volumes that ensure rational standards for food consumption. The doctrine sets the task of creating new technologies for deep and complex processing of food raw materials, methods of storage and transportation of agricultural and fishery products. The strategy for improving the quality of food products in the Russia until 2030 is focused on ensuring adequate nutrition, preventing diseases, increasing the duration and quality of life of the population, stimulating the development of production and circulation of food products of appropriate quality on the market and is the basis for the formation of a national food quality management system products. The imperfection of legal and organizational mechanisms regarding the quality of food products leads to the fact that on the Russian market there is circulation of products that do not meet the established requirements of regulatory documents. The lack of a clear and transparent legislative and regulatory framework does not allow control and supervision authorities to fully ensure appropriate control and prevent low-quality and falsified products from entering the market. In the current conditions, the state must more quickly solve these urgent problems and bring legislative and regulatory regulation in accordance with the requirements of the EAEU states to ensure the quality of food products.
