Realization of food defense and food security standards in Polish maritime transport

Abstract

This article touches on the issue of Food Defense and Food Security in Polish maritime transport. It seems indispensable to refer to the food defense as any action that the company must take to prevent the intentional contamination of food products by biological, chemical, physical or radiological factors which cannot be expected based on hazard analysis and which may arise in connection with human activities as a source of contamination (FDA). Temperature-controlled food transport is one of the most critical elements in today's supply chain, which is reflected in an increase in the demand for fresh and frozen products. In the case of sea transport, this will require temperature control in refrigerated containers. The effect of research on the impact of the stream of descending air and its free passage on the duration of storage of natural food products, which are presented in the article, are guidelines contained in military procedures.
