The necessity and expediency of enhancing national standards of the type of technical specifications that norm the safety and quality parameters of meat and dairy products, which is a promising area of technical regulation in Ukraine, are substantiated. It is noted that possible directions for improving national standards that regulate the technical specifications for meat and milk products are the development of new and revision of existing standards aimed at regulating the rheological properties of products, as well as the use of environmentally friendly biodegradable packaging materials. An important direction in enhancing technical regulation is the implementation in national standards of technical specifications for meat and dairy products used to solve issues of food security of the state, in particular, the products laid down for long-term storage or intended to solve food problems of the population during the periods of emergency.
