The description of hadronic matter at small scales in terms of quarks and glouns confined into hadrons is based on attaching a physical interpretation to unobservable fields, and therefore can be ambiguous. We show that using the methods of the algebraic approach to QFT, in which a theory is defined only by its algebras of local observables, it is possible to formulate an intrinsic notion of charge confinement, which can also be tested in concrete models.
