Jakość i bezpieczeństwo żywności w Polsce
Food quality and safety in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is an attempt to answer the question whether in the last dozen years, the level of food quality and food safety in Poland has improved or perhaps deteriorated. There is a common belief in the high quality of Polish food. Other researchers find that high quality applies to a small part of the food sector (traditional, regional, and organic products). Some authors say that on the food market we have to deal with the problem of systematic deterioration of the food quality. This is evidenced by even a different kind of “food scandals” and the counterfeiting of food. The analysis showed that it was difficult to clearly assess the level of food quality and food safety. The author uses the typical economic test method in this study. The author analyzed literature of the subject, including many selected reports and audit reports of various organizations which examined food quality and food safety in Poland. The paper presents selected issues, because the extensiveness of the topic does not allow to deal with all aspects of food quality and food safety.
