Item Odpowiedzialność za wprowadzenie konsumentów w błąd przez sugerowanie szczególnych właściwości żywności(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2013) Trempała, MichałThere is no efficient measure available in Polish food law which would prevent consumers from being misled by information suggesting that a certain product has specific properties (while all other products of that kind also have them). The present situation when heavy penalties for distorting the picture of a product (to the result similar to that of fraudulent misrepresentation) may be avoided, even seems to encourage such manipulation practices. The only penalty that may be administered is a fine for marketing a product of commercial quality which does not match the description. This sanction, however, is insufficiently severe to act as a deterrent. Therefore it is postulated that the current regulations should be modified to account for situations in which customers are misled by true information but presented unfairly.
