The aim of this article is to contextualize the difficulties concerning the sanitary legalization of artisanal and family farming products, that have become subject to both the National Policy for Food and Nutrition Safety and the RDC 49/2013 from Anvisa. Our method was to analyse documents from state agencies and social organizations as well as theoretical bibliography on the subject. We relate these difficulties with transformations in food systems and the international concerns about sanitary risks, pointing to complex relations between culture, risks, techno-science and development models, as well as to the strong economic interests that challenge the enhancement of public health and food security. We conclude considering the need of an integrated and contextualized analysis of risks in the case of small-scale production, processing, distribution and consumption of food, favoring production models and patterns of food consumption that are fair, democratic, environmentally sustainable, and that have the appreciation of life and health as its main focus.Downloads
