Abstract

The aim of this study is to define the functional food market in Turkey and to present the official regulationsconcerning the labeling, promoting and advertising of functional foods. This present study is based on literaturestudies reported previously. Functional food market is a new sector in Turkey. So far, significant progress has beenmade in terms of legislation regarding this sector but it has not been finished yet. Defining the relationship betweenfunctional foods and public health, the ways in which consumers are informed and the impact of media are the majorfields of argument in Turkey. Functional foods are in the growing phase in Turkey. In developing countries like Turkey,when correct and appropriate information is not provided, consumers are likely to try to compensate for theirunhealthy dietary habits by consuming "functional foods" and try to cure their diseases with these products. Afunctional food discourse without any ethical concern could cause nutritional science to be overlooked. While thefunctional food market is creating opportunities and creating potential positive impacts on human health, newcommunication technologies are also presenting possible new threats.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye'de fonksiyonel gıda pazarını tanımlamak ve gıdaların etiketlenmesi, tanıtılması ve reklamına ilişkin resmi düzenlemeleri sunmaktır. Bu çalışma literatür taramasına dayanmaktadır. Fonksiyonel gıda, Türkiye’de yeni bir sektördür. İlgili mevzuatın hazırlanmasında önemli ilerleme kaydedilmiştir, ancak henüz sonuçlandırılmamıştır. Fonksiyonel gıdalar ve halk sağlığı arasındaki ilişkinin, tüketicilerin bilgi alma şekillerinin ve medyanın etkisinin tanımlanması, ülkedeki başlıca tartışma alanlarıdır. Fonksiyonel gıdalar Türkiye'de büyüme aşamasındadır. Türkiye gibi gelişmekte olan ülkelerde, doğru bilgi verilmediğinde, tüketicilerin sağlıksız beslenme alışkanlıklarını “fonksiyonel gıdalar” tüketerek telafi etmeye ve bu ürünlerle hastalıkları iyileştirmeye çalışmaları olasıdır. Etik kaygılardan mahrum bir fonksiyonel gıda söylemi, beslenme biliminin göz ardı edilmesine neden olabilir. Fonksiyonel gıda pazarı fırsatlar yaratırken ve sağlık üzerine potansiyel pozitif etkiler oluştururken, yeni iletişim teknolojileri de olası yeni tehditler ortaya koymaktadır.
