Food Poisoning Cases in Turkey and Nano Lab's Solutions

Causes of Food Poisoning

Food Poisoning

Food safety is a critical issue that directly affects both the health of individuals and social welfare. The increasing number of food poisoning cases in Turkey in recent years has made the need for consumers to access reliable and healthy products even more important. As Nano Lab, we aim to contribute to the solution of this problem by providing analysis services in accordance with high standards in food safety.

Causes of Food Poisoning in Turkey

Food poisoning is a health problem resulting from the consumption of contaminated food. The main reasons for the increase in food poisoning cases in Turkey are as follows:

1. Pesticide Residues: Pesticides used in agricultural products are not sufficiently cleaned or are used above limits, posing a serious threat to food safety.
2. Microbial Contamination:Contamination of food by bacteria, viruses or fungi increases the risk of poisoning, especially in summer.
3. Additives and Preservatives:Additives commonly used in foods can cause health problems, especially if misused. It is important to use preservatives such as natamycin in correct doses.
4. Production and Storage Conditions:Unhygienic production processes and improper storage conditions are among the most common causes of foodborne diseases.
