The article presents the issues of ensuring the quality and safety of food products in road transport. The article discusses selected legal acts related to road transport of food, including the Agreement on the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs and on the Special Equipment to be Used for such Carriage (ATP) and the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points System (HACCP). The general characteristics of the entire process of transporting food products were presented and vehicles adapted to carry it out were discussed. Next, refrigerated semitrailers were described, as well as requirements for temperatures and vehicles in which the entire food supply process takes place. An analysis of statistical data on the transport of food products in Poland in the years 2008-2016 was also carried out.
