DocumentOther documentGeneral principles of food hygiene 2023This document outlines the general principles that should be understood and followed by food business operators at all stages of the food chain and that provide a basis for competent authorities to oversee food safety and suitability.This edition contains a new annex which introduces tools to determine the critical control points in a hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) system.The term "Codex Alimentarius" is Latin and means "food code”. Codex standards are international food texts, i.e. standards, codes of practice, codes of hygienic practice, guidelines and other recommendations, established to protect the health of the consumers and to ensure fair practices in the food trade.

Book (stand-alone)HandbookRisk Communication Applied to Food Safety Handbook 2016Recent global, regional and national food-borne disease outbreaks and/or large food recalls have had adverse impacts on consumer confidence in the safety of the food supply and agri-food production and trade (3). Post-event analysis of such events has indicated the importance of more effective use of risk communication principles and practices. Countries are encouraged to develop and assess their existing risk communication plans and practices applied to food safety and to learn from their own or other countries’ experiences. As the use of the Internet and social media technologies increases both in developed and developing countries, the public’s demand for greater transparency and more salient food safety risk information can be expected, confirming the importance of effective risk communication strategies in food safety and the broader public health sector. The purpose of this Handbook is to support countries, national food safety authorities and food chain stakeholders in establishing or enhancing risk communication practice and capacity in the food safety sector. This Handbook focuses on practical principles and best practices of risk communication to support risk management of adverse food safety (including quality) events associated with biological, chemical or physical hazards. The focus of this Handbook is on the use of risk communication in the process of risk analysis to manage both emergency food safety risks (e.g. foodborne illness outbreaks) and non-emergency or more enduring food safety issues (e.g. food safety and health promotion campaigns). The Handbook begins with a broad overview of the key goals and concepts of risk communication.
