RASFF SYSTEM IN FOOD SAFETY SERVICE

Nepravilna i nesukladna uporaba pesticida najčešći je uzrok prisutnosti njihovih ostataka većih od dopuštenih. Ako se u/na tretiranim kulturama nađu ostatci veći od dopuštenih, potrebno je poduzeti niz mjera. Procjena rizika složen je proces baziran na znanstveno utemeljenim činjenicama i novim spoznajama i informacijama. Kako bi se utvrdilo postoji li akutni rizik za zdravlje potrošača konzumacijom proizvoda s utvrđenim ostatcima pesticida iznad MRO-a, potrebna je utvrđena vrijednost koncentracije pesticida, modeli prehrane koji uključuju podatke o konzumaciji određene vrste hrane, prehrambene navike određene populacijske skupine i toksikološki parametri (akutna referentna doza ‒ ARfD). Kao jedan od glavnih alata u procesu zaštite potrošača i stavljanja na tržište zdravstveno ispravne hrane na području EU-a uspostavljen je RASFF (engl. Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) sustav u skladu s člankom 50. Uredbe (EZ) br. 178/2002 (Službeni list Europske unije, 2002.), a mjere za provedbu RASFF sustava propisane su Provedbenom uredbom Komisije (EU) 2019/1715. (Službeni list Europske unije, 2019.)Improper and non-compliant use of pesticides is the most common reason for the presence of residues greater than allowed. In the event that residues are found in/on the treated crops that are higher than allowed, a series of measures must be taken. Risk assessment is a complex process based on scientifically based facts and new knowledge and information. In order to determine whether there is an acute risk to the health of consumers by the consumption of products with detected pesticide residues above the MRO, a determined pesticide concentration value, dietary models that include data on the consumption of a certain type of food, dietary habits of a certain population group and toxicological parameters (acute reference dose - ARfD). The "RASFF" (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) system was established as one of the main tools in the process of consumer protection and marketing of healthy food in the EU in accordance with Article 50 of Regulation (EC) no. 178/2002, and the measures for the implementation of the RASFF system are prescribed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1715
