“…This review revealed that foods past their use-by dates in the food market are major threats for consumers. This malpractice is more common in less developed countries and rural markets [36,67,[87][88][89][90]. Growth of microorganisms in expired foods is very common.…”

Background: Food safety in the food market is one of the key areas of focus in public health, because it affects people of every age, race, gender, and income level around the world. The local and international food marketing continues to have significant impacts on food safety and health of the public. Food supply chains now cross multiple national borders which increase the internationalization of health risks. This systematic review of literature was, therefore, conducted to identify common public health risks related to food safety issues in the food market. Methods: All published and unpublished quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method studies were searched from electronic databases using a three step searching. Analytical framework was developed using the PICo (population, phenomena of interest, and context) method. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT) version 2018. The included full-text articles were qualitatively analyzed using emergent thematic analysis approach to identify key concepts and coded them into related non-mutually exclusive themes. We then synthesized each theme by comparing the discussion and conclusion of the included articles. Emergent themes were identified based on meticulous and systematic reading. Coding and interpreting the data were refined during analysis.Results: The analysis of 81 full-text articles resulted in seven common public health risks related with food safety in the food market. Microbial contamination of foods, chemical contamination of foods, food adulteration, misuse of food additives, mislabeling, genetically modified foods (GM foods), and outdated foods or foods past their use-by dates were the identified food safety-related public health risks in the food market. Conclusion: This systematic literature review identified common food safety-related public health risks in the food market. The results imply that the local and international food marketing continues to have significant impacts on health of the public. The food market increases internationalization of health risks as the food supply chains cross multiple national borders. Therefore, effective national risk-based food control systems are essential to protect the health and safety of the public. Countries need also assure the safety and quality of their foods entering international trade and ensure that imported foods conform to national requirements.

“…Interestingly, whilst economic globalization can easily equate with the expansion of international trade, it is clear that some developing countries continue to struggle to become fully integrated into the world trading system. It is critical therefore to improve awareness, simplify rules, improve skills and infrastructure, adapt food safety monitoring to local conditions, and help formulating risk management systems for niche products from developing countries (Brown et al, 2002;Anyanwu and Jukes, 1991;Juke, 1988;Jukes, 2000;Henson and Loader, 2001;Schillhorn van Veen, 2005;Henson et al, 2005). As argued by Henson et al (2005), "there are concerns about power relations through the supply chain, supermarket demand for high-value fresh produce can provide opportunities for the enhancement of smallscale producer livelihoods" and at the same time, "attention has focused on the processes through which smallscale producers are integrated into, or excluded from, supermarket supply chains and the associated impact of stricter food safety and quality standards and logistics requirements".…”

“…Education, experience and competence of the personnel involved in the product distribution chain are selected as major factors to assess qualities of the workforce. If people are well-trained on the risks that might be caused by poor product handling, they could improve product handling or distribution practices (Anyanwu and Jukes, 1991;FAO/WHO, 2003;Barrett and Maxwell, 2006). The leading causes of food deterioration and spoilage are Kussaga and Luning,151 improper distribution and excessive handling practices that could induce mechanical damage and microbiological contamination (Rahman, 2007).…”

This article presents a theoretical framework that could be applied to provide an insight on the impacts of key-risk factors on quality and safety of donated food along the food aid supply chains. Donated food comes from various countries, produced for different purposes, stored and transported over the long chains to several locations under variable conditions and handled by numerous people often with restricted knowledge on proper food handling. Although there are various reports on the deficiencies in quality and safety of donated food, there is yet a restricted knowledge on where and how quality and safety of donated food could be affected. A technomanagerial approach has been used to develop a theoretical framework to give insights on the risk factors that could impact quality and safety of products along the food aid supply chains. History of donated food products, intrinsic product properties and characteristics of the national food control system were identified as the key-risk factors impacting quality/safety of donated food along the production chains in the donating countries; whereas food legislation, infrastructure and resources, and management and administration of the food control system are the major quality and safety influencing factors at points of receipt. Lastly, intrinsic product properties, qualities of the workforce, nature of the distribution infrastructure, and complexity of the supply chain were identified as the key-risk factors on quality and safety of food during distribution in the receiving countries. This theoretical framework could be used by food aid receiving countries to make informed decisions on the status of imported donated food products and provide relevant distribution and storage requirements to ensure that the intended recipients get quality and safe food products.
