| description | Food is a special good. It is special because of its place in the world economy and a set of
products setting the latest trends in the economy. Nowadays, more and more attention is paid
not only to food supply and availability but also to its quality and adulteration. It results, above
all, from the more and more common phenomenon of food adulteration on a global scale.
The phenomenon being a consequence of, first of all, liberalization of commodity exchange
and development of food trade (Kowalczyk 2009), generally, therefore, a consequence of
progressing globalization (Kowalczyk 2014). For these reasons, the problem of food safety
and quality becomes an essential topic of consideration both at the national, regional (e.g.
European Union - EU) and global (Codex Alimentarius) level.
The aim of this article was to assess the level of quality and food safety in Poland during
the last several years. Formation of quality and food safety requires precise control, which
is possible thanks to the creation of quality and food safety management systems. These
systems concern the control of food at all stages of its production, i.e. from the producer to the
consumer.
The analysis showed that it is difficult to assess unequivocally the level of food quality
and safety in Poland. The study was based on the analysis of literature on the analyzed subject,
including numerous, selected reports and post-inspection reports of various organizations
studying the quality and safety of food in Poland.
The level of food safety on the Polish market is good and comparable to other EU
countries. However, it is not free from irregularities that may periodically increase. Minimizing
these threats is possible, among others, by consistent controls, promotion of participation in
voluntary quality systems and high requirements in terms of quality standards. |
