BookletPersonal hygiene – Section 6 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This guidance document provides detailed information on the importance of personal hygiene for those who work directly or indirectly with food. Personnel who do not maintain the appropriate degree of personal cleanliness, who have certain illnesses or conditions or who behave inappropriately, can contaminate food and transmit illness to consumers. Food businesses should establish policies and procedures for personal hygiene, ensure that all personnel are aware of the importance of good personal hygiene, and that they understand and comply with a set of practices designed to ensure food safety. This publication is part of the FAO Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Toolbox for Food Safety series. The toolbox is a central repository of practical guidance and resource materials to strengthen food safety capacities, both public and private, in order to develop and implement food safety management programmes in accordance with the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene guidelines (CXC 1-1969). Care was taken to consider the challenges faced by small food business operators and primary producers in low- and middle-income countries, and those with an institutional role, such as government officials, academia and capacity building organizations. -
BookletEstablishment – Design of facilities and equipment – Section 3 2023
Also available in:
This guidance document provides detailed information on how to design and construct an establishment to produce food safely and to control potential food safety hazards. Food handling premises provide the first point of protection against hazards as the place where food is separated from the external environment where it was grown or raised. The premises, equipment and other facilities should be located, designed, and constructed to permit maintenance, cleaning and disinfection. The environment should be controlled for temperature and humidity, and there should be a system to prevent pests from entering the premises. Surfaces and materials, particularly those in contact with food, should be intended for use for the processing/handling of foods. Facilities, including washrooms, should be adequately designed for waste management and cleaning and support the hygienic production of food.

BookletPrimary production – Section 2 2023
Also available in:
This guidance document provides instructions on how to identify potential food safety hazards in primary production and information on how to control them. The types of activities involved in raising animals, growing crops, farming fish, hunting and fishing can introduce multiple hazards that can enter the food chain at the stage of primary production. Food safety along the value chain can only be assured if primary production activities are managed in a way that reduces the likelihood of introducing a contaminant that could affect the safety of the food, or make it unsuitable for consumption.
