Book (series)Microbiological Hazards in Fresh Leafy Vegetables and Herbs: Meeting Report. Microbiological Risk Assessment Series (MRA) 14 2008
Also available in:
No results found.This FAO/WHO Expert meeting was convened on 5-9 May 2008 in Bangkok, Thailand, to address the request for scientific advice received from the 39th Session of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) on the microbiological hazards associated with leafy vegetables and herbs. In responding to the questions posed by the CCFH, the meeting addressed the pathways for contamination, survival and persistence of microbiological hazards associated with leafy vegetables and herbs, and the potent ial management options from primary production through to the consumer. Consideration was given to all aspects of the farm to fork continuum, i.e. including pre-harvest and post-harvest. -
Book (series)Prevention and control of microbiological hazards in fresh fruits and vegetables – Part 4: Specific commodities
Meeting report
2023Also available in:
No results found.In 2019, following a request from the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH), the Codex Alimentarius Committee (CAC) approved new work at its 42nd Session on the development of guidelines for the control of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in leafy vegetables and in sprouts. The objective of the report was to evaluate commodity-specific interventions used at all stages of fresh fruit and vegetable production from primary production to post-harvest activities, transportation, point of sale and consumer use. Emphasis was placed on the identification and evaluation of interventions used throughout the world to reduce microbiological hazards of fresh fruits and vegetables that contribute to the risk of foodborne illnesses, taking into consideration their effectiveness, practicality and suitability. The expert committee addressed four subdivided commodity groups: 1) leafy vegetables and herbs, 2) berries and tropical fruits, 3) melons and tree fruits, and 4) seeded and root vegetables. -
Book (series)Risk assessments of Salmonella in eggs and broiler chickens - Interpretative summary. Microbiological Risk Assessment Series (MRA) 1 2002This volume contains monographs on risk assessment of Salmonella in eggs and broiler chickens that have been prepared and reviewed by an international team of scientists. During their preparation input was received from several international fora including expert consultations and Codex Alimentarius committee meetings as well as via public and peer review. The monographs in this volume comprise data and methodology relevant to the four steps of risk assessment - hazard identification, ex posure assessment, hazard characterization and risk characterization - of Salmonella in eggs and broiler chickens. They include information on the efficacy of some of the possible risk management options for controlling these pathogens in eggs and broiler chickens. This volume and others in the Microbiological Risk Assessment series contain information that is useful to risk managers such as the Codex Alimentarius, governments and food regulatory agencies, scientists, food producers and in dustries and other people or institutions working in the area of microbiological hazards in foods, their impact on human health and food trade and their control.
