Abstract

In this study, food contact material notifications reported to the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) between 2002 and 2020 were examined and the data were interpreted in graphics with the help of Microsoft Excel program. Between 2002 and 2020, 2500 reports of food contact materials were reported to the Rapid Alert System, with the highest number of notifications in 2011. When analyzed on country basis; it was observed that Italy reported 788, Germany 313, and Poland 185 notifications. 42,52% of the examined notifications were border rejection, 22,64% of them were alert, 12,8% of them were information requiring attention, 11,36% of them were information and 10,68% of them were information requiring follow-up. 18,76% of risk types had serious, 20,8% had non-serious and 60,44% had undecided risk levels. Hazards that were the subjects of the notifications consisted of chromium (13,18%), formaldehyde (13,12%), primary aromatic amines (11,83%) and nickel (8,75%).

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Gıda ve Yem için Hızlı Alarm Sistemi (RASFF)’ne 2002-2020 yılları arasında rapor edilen gıda ile temas eden madde bildirimlerini incelenmiş ve veriler Microsoft Excel programı yardımıyla grafikler halinde yorumlanmıştır. Hızlı Alarm Sistemi’ne 2002-2020 yılları arasında 2500 gıda ile temas eden madde bildirimi raporlanmış olup, en fazla bildirim sayısı 2011 yılındadır. Ülke bazında incelendiğinde; İtalya’nın 788, Almanya’nın 313 ve Polonya’nın 185 bildirimde bulunduğu görülmüştür. İncelenen bildirimlerin %42,52’si sınır reddi, %22,64’ü alarm, %12,8’i dikkat gerektiren bilgi, %11,36’sı bilgi ve %10,68’i takip gerektiren bilgi bildirimidir. Risk türlerinin %18,76’sı ciddi, %20,8’i ciddi olmayan ve %60,44’ü kararsız kalınmış risk derecesine sahiptir. Bildirime konu olan tehlikeler krom (%13,18), formaldehit (%13,12), birincil aromatik aminler (%11,83) ve nikelden (%8,75) oluşmaktadır.
