Public health protection through the implementation of legislation on surveillance of micro- and nanoplastics in food imported from third countries
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examines Croatia's border food inspection system and its readiness to implement legislation for monitoring micro- and nanoplastics in food imported from non-EU countries. The analysis found that the current system is only partially functional and not fully prepared for introducing microplastic surveillance, highlighting the need for process optimization to protect public health across the European Union.
U Republici Hrvatskoj provode se službene kontrole hrane nad uvozom hrane neživotinjskog podrijetla iz trećih zemalja čime se provjerava zdravstvena ispravnost hrane. Službene kontrole provodi granična sanitarna inspekcija na graničnim kontrolnim postajama i carinskim mjestima. Rad opisuje procese provedbe službenih kontrola i analizira rad Službe granične sanitarne inspekcije i dosadašnje principe u spremnosti i pripremi sustava za uvođenje legislative o provedbi službenih kontrola hrane na prisutnost mikro- i nanoplastike u hrani prilikom uvoza iz trećih zemalja kako bi se predložila moguća rješenja, a sve u svrhu zaštite javnog zdravlja populacije Europske unije. Analiza stanja ukazuje da je sustav djelomično funkcionalan i nije u potpunosti spreman za uvođenje zakonodavstva o službenim kontrolama hrane na prisutnost mikro- i nanoplastike prilikom uvoza iz trećih zemalja te su potrebne određene prilagodbe i optimizacija procesa provedbe službenih kontrola.
