CONCERNS REGARDING FOOD SAFETY AND FUTURE RESEARCH APPROACHES IN THE CASE OF WHEAT IN THE CONTEXT OF URBANIZATION IN BANGLADESHI DIET

Abstract

The world is changing at a breakneck pace, and those who have the ability to change must adapt. Bangladesh's economy is one of the world's fastest-growing. People's eating habits are changing as a result of economic progress and urbanization. These changes are not evenly distributed throughout the urban and rural economic groups, as they are in other nations. People in metropolitan areas have hectic schedules. Cooking is a chore for them. As a result, the fast-food and ready-made food industries are growing, saving time and providing convenience to the modern world. Wheat is the mostly used grain for making fast food and bakery items. Therefore, the consumption rate of wheat is increasing day by day. If compared, the nutrients contents of wheat and rice, then this shifting is good in a broad sense. However, for the other associated factors like wheat food patterns and quality, this change requires a better evaluation. In this review paper, we will try to find out, how changes are ongoing? Can it solve the problems related to rice consumption by turning to Wheat? Or will it cause more problems? If it causes some problems then, here we will try to find how we can face the change positively.
