Basic texts on Food Hygiene - Third Edition

Abstract

The basic texts on food hygiene were adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission in 1997 and 1999. This is the third edition of this compact booklet first published in 1997 and includes the revised Guidelines for the Application of the HACCP System adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission in 2003. It is hoped that this compact format will allow wide use and understanding of the basic principles of food hygiene and that it will encourage their use by governments, regulatory authorities, food industries and all food handlers, and consumers.
