  abstract = {European integration has brought for Romania the benefits of a market with a potential of over 500 million consumers, as well as meeting the food safety requirements imposed by EU requirements. Unfortunately, Romanian food exports have been involved in unpleasant incidents, such as horse meat scandal. This paper proposes an analysis of the notifications made in Romania through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed and to establish the correlations between the types of exported foodstuffs, the value of the exports and the level of notifications. Several food notifications have been made by Romania, but they are low compared to Poland and Hungary. Research has shown that a strict correlation between RASFF notifications to Romanian producers and the evolution of national food exports cannot be established. During the analyzed period, the number of notifications fluctuated unevenly, although there has been a slight downward trend in recent years. Chemical hazards, done by the presence of food pollutants, and microbiological hazards (Salmonella or Listeria sp.) have been frequent notified for the Romanian products, but also fraudulent issues have to be reported, especially related to the meat scandal or the presence of GMO's traces. Chemical risks; caused by the presence of food pollutants and microbiological hazards (Salmonella or Listeria sp.), have been frequently reported for Romanian products, but fraudulent issues, especially related to the meat scandal or the presence of GMOs, should also be mentioned. Romania needs to apply additional measures to increase the national food security at a level comparable to that of Western countries, and to ensure the competitiveness of domestic products for the European market.},
