Fao, the web manual with food safety standards

A collection of standards, guidelines and codes of conduct to protect the health of consumers and promote good hygiene practices in the food trade. It is the 'toolbox' launched by FAO at a site to help farmers and businesses adhere to international standards, on the occasion of World Food Security Day 2023. It is based on the Codex Alimentarius and translates the wide range of rules governing Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). Particular attention is paid to the challenges faced on this issue by small operators and producers in low- and middle-income countries. For example, the site was designed to work on portable mobile devices, which in some developing countries are much more prevalent than computers.
The aim is to provide all food business operators along the value chain, regardless of size and location, with a tool that allows them to better interact with local food safety authorities to produce, process and distribute safe food. The toolbox is also aimed at those in an institutional role, such as government officials, academia and different organizations. "It is an important benchmark for global food security," says Corinna Hawkes, Director of FAO's Food Systems and Security Division, "not least because it establishes a common language, which in turn provides a framework and commonality within which countries can negotiate and businesses can communicate with each other on food security."
