The range of food stuffs having a rich composition of useful substances can be greatly enhanced by using a great variety of wild plants growing in Siberia. Apart from familiar widely used wild mushrooms, berries and other wild plants a biennial herbage plant, namely, great burdock can be used. Precise requirements to safety of wild plants growing in Russia are not available in regulatory documents. This makes it much more difficult to pass the procedures of confirming the conformity of products. This also has a negative effect on the processes of harvesting, storage, processing and transportation of wild plant raw materials. The key goal of testing the quality of products is to ensure safety of food stuffs. This goal can be achieved by further study of wild plants and by establishing precise standards of safety.
