LEGAL GUARANTEES FOR ACHIEVING FOOD SECURITY RELATED TO FOOD SAFETY
Main Article Content
Abstract
While the concept of food security requires the provision of food, it also necessitates ensuring food safety. This necessity has arisen due to the evolution of food products, which have become a source of numerous hazards affecting public health. This has prompted the legislator to impose several obligations to ensure food safety, along with establishing oversight mechanisms, particularly administrative and criminal supervision. Consequently, the issue at hand is to identify the guarantees of food safety and assess their effectiveness in safeguarding public health and achieving food security. Despite the importance of the guarantees established by the legislator for food safety, they are less effective, as evidenced by practical realities in public health. This calls for strengthening these guarantees to realize the concept of food security.
