Abstract
In this article,
national and international resources related with the safety of organic
products are examined in terms of undesired factors and it is intended to
assess the safety status of organic products, compared to conventional
products.
Organic product
means a product that does not contain any factor that is harmful to human
health. However, researches show that organic products may have various adverse
factors, such as mycotoxin, pesticides, resistance to antibiotics, etc.,
compared to conventional products, which do not sometimes show difference but
also be in favor of organic products time to time. Campylobacter was found in 80% of poultries raised organically in
USA. Also it was found in a research made in Germany that meats of organic
poultries are contaminated with (Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase) as much as
those raised conventionally. Again, no difference was found between organically
and conventionally grown cereals, 300 samples of which were taken and scanned
every year between 2001 and 2005 in UK, in terms of DON and zearelenon
concentration. In Turkey organic and conventional produced animal and vegetable
products on metal levels made of research, the level of Fe higher in organic
products; however, element levels were found to be within safe limits.
Highly
significant differences can be observed in the results of studies, performed on
the safety of organic products and this situation caused researchers to conduct
meta-analyses. It is aimed to reach healthier assessments with these results,
which mean reanalysis and reinterpretation of different study results in a
combined manner.
