Abstract:
Background and Aim: Human rights such as the right to health are intended to protect community members and governments ensure the provision of the necessary facilities to achieve this important goal by making appropriate decisions. According to the Qur'an and existing laws in our country, this right is recognized and respected and it has also a special place in international law. In order to legislate these related rights, the United Nations and other international organizations have taken anticipatory measures and paved the way for achieving these essential rights. Hence, the amount of use and recognition of the different types of food preservatives is necessary owing to their role in increasing the shelf life of food due to this fact that their misuse can violate human basic rights and adversely affect his health.
Methods: The current review study has been written in a descriptive-analytical style, in a library format, using various books, articles, data and laws.
Ethical Considerations: Honesty and trustworthiness have been considered to throughout the present study.
Results: Artificial food preservatives have advantages such as extending shelf life of different types of food; however, they may be associated with risks when consumed. Additionally, natural preservatives have a higher priority to use because of their non-harmful nature.
Conclusion: In accordance with the domestic laws in Iran, if the permitted amount and type of food additives are not observed, the act may be considered as a crime which is resulting in various punishments being imposed upon the accused in the courts.
