BookletRegional Legal Report on results of analysis of legislation relevant to antimicrobial use and antimicrobial resistance in the food and agriculture sector in Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan 2023
Also available in:
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat, that has been exacerbated by the inappropriate and excessive use of antimicrobials, especially in the human and livestock-related food-producing sectors. The Regional Legal Report presents the results of an analysis of the national legislation relevant to antimicrobial use (AMU) and AMR in the food and agriculture sector that has been conducted in Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The document discusses the findings of the legal analysis, gives recommendations for addressing weaknesses and formulates proposals for improving existing legislation in each country, with the ultimate goal of limiting the imprudent use of antimicrobials, and therefore decreasing the spread of AMR in food and agriculture. -
BookletBackyard farming and slaughtering – Keeping tradition safe
Food safety technical toolkit for Asia and the Pacific No. 2
2021Also available in:
No results found.The region of Asia and the Pacific has a long history in farming livestock at the household level: this practice is linked with cultural identities and economic development in rural and low-mid socioeconomic communities. Household and village level animal production is well-aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, and is therefore important to maintain, especially in the most populous region in the world. These practices, however, carry a risk of foodborne pathogens contaminating animal-derived foods as well as the risk of disease transmission from the animal or food to humans. Such risks can be addressed by promoting the adoption and implementation of safe and sustainable practices for home slaughtering among communities. These practices include good animal management practices that promote animal health (e.g. vaccination), practices to be adopted immediately prior to slaughter, the implementation of hygienic measures after slaughtering (including access to appropriate facilities), inspections and waste management. All of these factors have an influence on food safety and will need to be taken into consideration from food safety competent authorities. -
Book (stand-alone)A regional guidance on criteria for good manufacturing practices/hazard analysis and critical control point (GMP/HACCP) for Asian countries
RAP Publication 2014/21
2014Also available in:
No results found.To ensure the safety and quality of foods, it is essential to implement preventative approaches that focus on building quality and safety throughout the food chain. Good hygienic practices (GHP) and good manufacturing practices (GMP), together with hazard analysis and critical point (HACCP) systems, have been recognized globally as important for ensuring the safety and quality of food and for preventing foodborne diseases. The purpose of the preventative approach is to build safety into products by identifying hazards and either preventing them from entering the food chain, eliminating them or reducing them to acceptable levels. This document develops/adapts the Codex texts into requirements or criteria which can be included by governments in their legislation to provide a basis for compliance with GMP/HACCP based food safety management systems, either on a mandatory or voluntary basis.
