Summary/Abstract: The issue of ‘dual quality food’ was publicized in 2015 by the Czech Republic and subsequently taken up by the Visegrad Group and the EU forum. It exemplifi es the wider problem of the undesirable phenomena present on the EU market of dual standards of branded products. The European Commission has published a set of guidelines on the application of current EU food law and consumer protection law against unfair market practices (Notice of 26 September 2017) to help national authorities determine whether a company violates EU law by selling dual quality products in different Member States. The aim of this article is to look at the current proposals to solve this problem in terms of their effectiveness, and to inquire into the existence of other possible solutions that ensure greater effi ciency.
