Potravinová

Potravinové is a Czech adjective meaning relating to food or groceries. It is formed from the noun potravina (food, groceries) and is used to create compound nouns and phrases that denote something connected with food, nutrition, or the food sector. The term is versatile and appears in everyday language as well as in formal or technical contexts.

Common uses include descriptions of goods, services, and policies connected with food. Examples include potravinové výrobky (food products), potravinové doplňky (dietary supplements), potravinové řetězce (food supply chains), and potravinové zásoby (food supplies). In regulatory or professional language, more specific terms such as potravinářský (food-related, pertaining to the food industry) are often preferred, with phrases like potravinářské právo (food law) or potravinová bezpečnost (food safety) being standard.

The term potravinové exists within a broader semantic field that includes potraviny (food items) and related disciplines like potravinářství (the food industry) and nutrition. It functions as a neutral, descriptive modifier applicable across various domains—retail, manufacturing, public health, and academia—without implying a particular product or brand. While closely related to other food-related adjectives, potravinové emphasizes the connection to food in a broad, general sense rather than to a specific sector.
