BookletProduct information and consumer awareness – Section 8 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This guidance document provides detailed information on how product labelling and consumer education can help reduce incidences of foodborne disease related to food mislabelling or mishandling. Product information, including allergen information, should be available on all food products to help the next operator in the chain of food businesses or the consumer to handle, prepare, display, store and/or use the product safely and correctly. Food safety along the food business chain is ensured when the consumer has enough information to understand the product and to handle the food safely, as instructed. Educating consumers about the types of information on food product labels allows them to make informed choices and makes them aware of the need to follow product instructions to ensure that they prepare the food safely. This publication is part of the FAO Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Toolbox for Food Safety series. The toolbox is a central repository of practical guidance and resource materials to strengthen food safety capacities, both public and private, in order to develop and implement food safety management programmes in accordance with the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene guidelines (CXC 1-1969). Care was taken to consider the challenges faced by small food business operators and primary producers in low- and middle-income countries, and those with an institutional role, such as government officials, academia and capacity building organizations. -

BookletEstablishment – Design of facilities and equipment – Section 3 2023
Also available in:
This guidance document provides detailed information on how to design and construct an establishment to produce food safely and to control potential food safety hazards. Food handling premises provide the first point of protection against hazards as the place where food is separated from the external environment where it was grown or raised. The premises, equipment and other facilities should be located, designed, and constructed to permit maintenance, cleaning and disinfection. The environment should be controlled for temperature and humidity, and there should be a system to prevent pests from entering the premises. Surfaces and materials, particularly those in contact with food, should be intended for use for the processing/handling of foods. Facilities, including washrooms, should be adequately designed for waste management and cleaning and support the hygienic production of food.
