Abstract:

In all beliefs, there are some written or non-written rules governing human life. There are some foods that are considered praiseworthy and forbidden in most beliefs among the food and beverages. Especially when examined in the context of Islam, Judaism and Christianity, it is seen that there are many judgments about these rules. Foodstuffs that are forbidden in different beliefs are usually different or are occasionally similar. When we evaluate the situation in terms of today's technology, production techniques and additives, the concepts of 'Halal Food' in Islamic religion and 'Kosher Food' in Judaism becomes clear. The definition of Halal food, according to the Islam; the foods that are allowed to eat. Halal refers to the preparation of foods under Islamic rules, from the field, to the dinner table. Halal food means that the item has no conflict in religious rules, hygienic and health aspects. Nowadays, the Halal status of many foodstuffs, raw materials or additives can be clarified by Qur'an, Sunnah and Comparison (qiyas), it also turns out that there is a significant relationship between Halal Food and Safe Food. Additionally, food additives are the most problematic area in the halal food area. In this review, Halal Food, Healthy Food and Food Safety concepts have been evaluated according to the divine religions, especially the Islam.
