BookletTraining materialWorkshop Summary Report: Training of Trainers on Risk Categorization for Effective Risk-based Imported Food Control in the Philippines
15–17 May 2018, Quezon City, Philippines

No results found.The concept of risk categorization has been employed in the Philippines, particularly within the plant quarantine system at border controls. However, such risk categorization does not cover food safety issues such as pesticide residues and foodborne pathogen detections. With the aim of having a holistic approach to risk categorization for livestock products, fisheries, forestry products and processed food, the first training of food safety authorities and relevant agencies for imported food control – for the purpose of exercising risk categorization processes – was organized under the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations SP4 One Health project “Strengthening national capacity for risk-based food import control within a One Health framework”. Over 70 participants attended the three-day workshop with the objective of becoming effective at applying risk categorization for all food items imported into the Philippines, and identifying risk categorization priorities. Through technical presentations, examples of good practices in other countries, and hands-on exercises on food import scenarios, participants obtained knowledge on the objectives and principles of risk categorization. They also developed their capacity in communicating risk categorization results with non-food safety partner agencies. The workshop enabled participants to discuss which approach was best suited to the Philippines. To advance risk categorization for effective imported food control in the country, participants agreed to adopt potential food safety risks and country of origin as risk categorization priorities, and identified action points to mainstream risk categorization for imported food control in the country. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRisk based imported food control 2015This FAO manual on Risk based imported food control aims to support competent authorities in improving the effectiveness of the control measures they are overseeing, based on an analysis of their specific country situation. It discusses the different types of approach to managing risks related to imported food, and provides concrete illustrations of how Codex guidelines can be implemented in different ways. While respecting the principles, guidance and objectives agreed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, different options for control measures can be selected and combined to implement a coherent set of import controls to best fit the needs of each country. Different examples, as implemented by a number of countries, are provided to show that there are often several options to reach a common goal. It also provides insights on the legal and institutional frameworks, as well as on the necessary support services to effectively implement risk based food controls.

No results found.Asia-Pacific accounts for more than 90% of the world aquaculture output (FAO, 2016) and the region will have to responsible for sustaining the supply of food fish to increasing population. Feed input in aquaculture represents the major production cost and the most important factor affecting farming profitability and ecological efficiency. Issues and challenges have been rising with the questionable use of fish meal and fish oil, mounting pressure on and competition for ingredient supply, increasing feed costs, variation of feed quality and availability, and feed ingredient related food safety concerns. The region needs to adjust the development strategies and devote more efforts in research, development and capacity building for sustainable production and use of aquaculture feeds. A -
