THE ROLE OF MEAT AND DAIRY PRODUCTS IN FOOD SAFETY AND HUMAN HEALTH

Abstract

This article discusses the role of meat and dairy products in the human body, their significance in terms of food safety, and modern processing technologies. Meat products are the main source of high-quality protein, iron, and B-group vitamins, while dairy products are rich in calcium, phosphorus, and beneficial probiotic compounds found in fermented products. Research shows that the safe production and proper storage of these products are crucial for ensuring healthy nutrition for the population [1; 2].
