Informal Food Production in Turkey and Its Possible Consequences

Journal Title: İzmir Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

Informal food production is one of the most important problems that threaten food security. While the law puts the main responsibility to ensure food safety to the producer, the state is responsible for conducting inspections in this area and applying criminal sanctions if food safety is not observed. However, the low purchasing power of the people and increasing food prices increase the informal food production. Informal food production without regard to food safety threatens public health. In this review study, the issue of food safety and the issue of informal food production, which is a food safety problem, are examined. As a result of the study, it has been suggested that awareness should be raised so that people does not shop from the companies that produce informal food, that purchasing power should be increased and that the food prices should be lowered. Keywords: Food, food production, food safety, informal food production.
