5 Examples of procedural standards for food safety Codex Alimentarius Codex Alimentarius was established by FAO and WHO in 1963, with the purpose of protecting the health of consumers and ensuring fair practices in the food trade Codex Alimentarius develops reference standards for international food trade Currently the Codex Alimentarius Commission has: 186Codex Members (185 Member Countries + EU as Member Organization) 224Codex Observers (52 IGOs, 157 NGOs, 15 UN) 5

9 Examples of procedural standards for food safety Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product. 9

10 Examples of procedural standards for food safety - HACCP HACCP principles HACCP is a systematic approach to the identification, evaluation, and control of food safety hazards based on the following seven principles: Principle 1: Conduct a hazard analysis. Principle 2: Determine the critical control points (CCPs). Principle 3: Establish critical limits. Principle 4: Establish monitoring procedures. Principle 5: Establish corrective actions. Principle 6: Establish verification procedures. Principle 7: Establish record-keeping and documentation procedures. 10

11 Examples of procedural standards for food safety - HACCP HACCP prerequisite programmes Prerequisite programs provide the basic environmental and operating conditions that are necessary for the production of safe, wholesome food. Common prerequisite programs include: Receiving, Storage and Shipping. All raw materials and products should be stored under sanitary conditions and the proper environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity to assure their safety and wholesomeness. Traceability and Recall. All raw materials and products should be lot-coded and a recall system in place so that rapid and complete traces and recalls can be done when a product retrieval is necessary. 11

12 Examples of procedural standards for food safety - ISO International Standards Organisation (ISO) ISO develops and publishes international standards ISO 9000 Quality management ISO Environmental management ISO Social responsibility ISO Risk management ISO Food safety management ISO Information security management ISO family Family of voluntary industry standards on food safety Main building block HACCP ISO 22005:2007 Traceability through the food and feed chain 12

13 Examples of procedural standards for food safety GLOBALG.A.P. G.A.P. stands for Good Agricultural Practice and GLOBALG.A.P. is the worldwide standard that assures it. Sets voluntary standards for the certification of agricultural products around the globe. Aims include: Creating a single standard system that identifies safe production methods, responsible use of resources, worker occupational health and safety, and animal welfare. Implementing Good Agricultural Practice worldwide to lay the foundation for the protection of scarce resources with a promise for a sustainable future. 13

16 Examples of procedural standards for food safety GS1 GS1 is an international not-for-profit association with Member Organisations in over 100 countries. GS1 is dedicated to the design and implementation of global standards and solutions to improve the efficiency and visibility of supply and demand chains globally and across sectors. The GS1 system of standards is the most widely used supply chain standards system in the world. GS1 standards are used in multiple sectors and industries. The GS1 GTC Programme supports the implementation of traceability across the supply chain both locally and globally. 16

18 Data carrier standards Basic data carrier types Human-oriented labels Data carriers for automated identification and data capture (AIDC) Data carriers can Carry identities (animal, product, traceable unit, logistics unit, asset etc) Carry information One-dimensional barcodes E.g. Code128 Two-dimensional barcodes E.g. QRCode Radio-frequency identifiers (RFID) E.g. EPCGlobal IMPORTANT: data carriers do not by themselves establish traceability 18

21 Examples of procedural standards for sustainability Standards for sustainable food production are mainly sector-based ISO14000 series on environmental management ISO26000 series on social responsibility (non-certifiable) Some sector-specific examples Palm oil: Roundtable for sustainable palm oil (RSPO) Aquaculture: Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) - Fair trade: Fairtrade International (FLO) 21

22 Examples of procedural standards for trade ecert UN/CEFACT Standard for sanitary and phyto-sanitary export certificates to facilitate trade of agricultural products Assures that the commodity has met the importing government requirements Improves business processes for import clearance through consistent quality data Facilitates real time clearance, e.g. through early shipment notifications In use with a number of countries (EU, US, CA) Fully paperless by end

23 Examples of procedural standards for trade ecustoms Main goals control and facilitate the movement of goods into and out of the internal market through efficient import and export procedures; increase the competitiveness of European trade through a reduction of compliance and administrative costs and an improvement in clearance times; facilitate legitimate trade through a coordinated approach relating to the control of goods; improve the safety and security of citizens with regard to dangerous and illicit goods; offer improved protection of the financial interests of the European Union and its Member States; contribute to the fight against international crime and terrorism by providing rapid and relevant information with regard to the international supply chain; allow for a seamless flow of data between the authorities of exporting and importing countries Project to be implemented by
