Book (series)Technical studySafety and quality of water used with fresh fruits and vegetables 2021
Also available in:
During fresh fruit and vegetables (FFV) production, water is used for a variety of purposes. Even the water was conventionally treated and disinfected, it may still potentially contain human pathogens, albeit at low concentrations. A risk assessment, appropriate to the national or local production context, should be conducted to assess the potential risks associated with a specific water source or supply in order to devise the appropriate risk mitigation strategies. Since the 48th session of Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) noted the importance of water safety and quality in food production and processing, FAO and WHO has undertaken the work on this subject. This report describes the output of the third in a series of meetings, which examined appropriate and fit-for-purpose microbiological criteria for water used with fresh fruit and vegetables. The advice herein will support decision making when applying the concept of fit-for-purpose water for use in the pre- and post-harvest production of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Book (series)Manual / guideCodex Alimentarius Commission Procedural Manual
Thirtieth edition
2025The Procedural Manual of the Codex Alimentarius Commission helps national delegations and international organizations attending as observers, participate effectively in the work of the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme. It sets out the basic rules of procedure, procedures for the elaboration of Codex standards and related texts, and basic definitions and guidelines for the operation of Codex committees. It also gives the membership of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The 30th edition of the Codex Procedural Manual continues to work towards a harmonization of language, particularly around synonymous terminology, thus setting precedent for Codex’s other written materials. Specifically, this latest edition contains three changes to "Section 4.6: Risk analysis principles applied by the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods", 1) a revision of "Annex C: Approach for the extrapolation of maximum residue limits for veterinary drugs to one or more species"; 2) the inclusion of "Annex D: Criteria and procedures for the establishment of action levels for residues of veterinary drugs in food of animal origin resulting from unavoidable and unintentional veterinary drug carryover in non-target animal feed"; and 3) a consequential amendment to paragraph 133, Establishment of priority list. In "Section 5.1: Table of committees, document references and terms of reference", following the decision by the Commission to reactivate the Codex Committee on Cereals, Pulses and Legumes, this committee was moved from “commodity committees (adjourned sine die)” to “commodity committees (active)”. Finally, editorial changes have been made to more consistently apply abbreviations and provide more accurate cross-referencing by numbering subsections. -
