Abstract
Thanks to the Directive on strengthening consumer rights, the dual quality of food is included among the explicitly defined misleading practices contained in the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive. This change has been implemented in the Czech legal system by an amendment to the Food Act and should also be implemented in the Consumer Protection Act.
The paper deals with the current form of the prohibition of dual quality of food and its impact on the Czech legislation. Furthermore, the paper reflects on the problems that the introduction of the ban on dual quality of food may bring with it.
