Abstract

Rapid Alarm System for Food and Feed (RASFF); is a database created by the European Commission that provides rapid information flow and response when risks to public health are identified in the food chain. Within the scope of this study, a detailed report was prepared on the notifications of environmental pollutants in foods in the Rapid Alarm System database between 2000 and 2020. All data obtained from the system were evaluated using Microsoft Office Excel 2010. When 774 notifications made in 21 years were examined, it was determined that 32% of the notifications were about “fish and fish products”, 29% about “oils and fats” and 11% about “dietetic products and food supplements”. The main problem (12% of the notifications) was determined to be “polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons”. Among all notifications, 33% of them were found to have a “serious risk” degree. The highest number of notifications (81 notifications) was detected in 2001. Additionally, 61% of the notifications were in the “alert”, 13% “information”, 11% “information for attention”, 11% “border rejection” and 4% “information follow-up” notifications. Most of the notifications (415 notifications) were created as a result of official controls in the market. Germany was the country with the highest notifications, with 178 notifications. As a result of the notifications, sanctions were generally imposed on “withdrawal of products from the market” and “withdrawal of products from the market by the manufacturer”. Considering the decrease in PAH notifications from food-related environmental pollutants over the years, it can be thought that the Rapid Alert System was effective in the decrease in the number of notifications.

Özet

Gıda ve Yem için Hızlı Alarm Sistemi; Avrupa Komisyonu tarafından oluşturulmuş, gıda zincirinde halk sağlığına yönelik riskler tespit edildiğinde hızlı şekilde bilgi akışını ve tepki verilmesini sağlayan bir veri tabanıdır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, 2000-2020 yılları arasında Hızlı Alarm Sistemi veri tabanında yer alan gıdalarda bulunan çevresel kirletici kaynaklı bildirimler ile ilgili ayrıntılı bir rapor hazırlanmıştır. Sistemden elde edilen tüm veriler Microsoft Office Excel 2010 kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Yirmi bir yıl içerisinde gerçekleştirilmiş 774 bildirim incelendiğinde, bildirimlerin %32’sinin “balık ve balık ürünleri”, %29’unun “sıvı ve katı yağlar” ve %11’inin “diyetetik ürünler ve gıda takviyeleri” hakkında oluşturulduğu belirlenmiştir. Temel problemin (bildirimlerin %12’si) “polisiklik aromatik hidrokarbonlar” olduğu saptanmıştır. Tüm bildirimler içinde %33’ünün “ciddi risk” derecesine sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. En fazla bildirim (81 bildirim) 2001 yılında bulunmaktadır. Ek olarak, bildirimlerin %61’i “alarm”, %13’ü “bilgi”, %11’i “dikkat gerektiren bilgi”, %11’i “sınır iadesi” ve %4’ü “takip gerektiren bilgi” bildirimleri türündedir. Bildirimlerin büyük bir kısmı (415 bildirim) piyasadaki resmi kontroller sonucunda oluşturulmuştur. Almanya, 178 bildirim ile en yüksek bildirimde bulunan ülkedir. Bildirimler sonucunda genellikle “ürünlerin piyasadan toplatılması” ve “üretici firmanın ürünleri piyasadan geri çekmesi” yaptırımları uygulanmıştır.
