Product safety is an organic part of innovation procedures. Only a safe and high-quality product, with a well-known image that consistently confirms these attributes, is able to fight for its place in crowded retail markets where imported products prevail over domestic products. In Slovakia, innovations in food products are part of their production strategy. In the area of cheese production, these are mainly lactose-free products, products for children and products for seasonal use. In the area of meat product production, innovations are focused on the production of products with a reduced content of salt, fat with the addition of plant components, etc. In the area of beverage innovation, it mainly concerns the production of beverages with isotonic properties, vitamin waters, fruit drinks with jelly balls of various types of fruit, etc.

Keywords: food innovation, meat products, dairy products, beverages
