Abstract

Food is a very important source of food for the entire population. In order for people to be healthy, and therefore for the country to be stable, a lot of attention should be paid to food, the way it is produced, prepared, packaged and stored. Food safety should be a priority for today's man. Only safe and correct food is quality and good food. In order to produce such food, a lot of attention should be paid to how the food is produced. We should start from the concept of "from the field to the table", which means that we should have healthy fields, proper water that we will use for irrigation, and clean air. The soil must not be treated too much with different chemical preparations, because it becomes polluted, and therefore the food is unsafe and unhealthy. The presence of chemicals in the soil, water and air can only have negative consequences for food. If a person eats food that has been treated with chemicals, he will get sick very quickly and may even die. That's why we should take care of what we eat and how safe, checked and controlled it is. In this paper, some indicators are listed, the presence of which can be the main cause of poisoning. Indicators of chemical origin that can be found in food affect the poor quality of food, as well as the length of storage and duration of food and all food products
