This manual provides updated comprehensive information and
practical guidelines to assist producers and all stakeholders along
the production and distribution chain to comply with the regulatory
framework, which have or will come into force in response to the
Codex Alimentarius Code of Practice on Good Animal Feeding. The
application of this Code is an important step for the expansion of
international trade in feed products as well as in products of
animal origin. Both food exporting and importing countries can
benefit from a more level playing field to support the trade of
safe food products. This publication is intended to guide managers
of feedmills and the feed industry as a whole. It will also be of
value to officers engaged in feed inspection, with their
supervisory roles in feed safety. This manual is targeted at the
commercial feed industries and farm-based feed mixers in developing
countries and emerging economies in their endeavour to meet the
rising quality and safety requirements of both the export and
domestic markets, with the increasing participation of large-scale
retailers everywhere.
In recent years, public concern about the safety of foods of animal
origin has heightened due to problems that have arisen with bovine
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), as well as with outbreaks of
food-borne bacterial infections, and food contamination with toxic
agents (e.g. dioxin). These problems have serious implications for
national food safety, the development of the animal products
industry and for international trade in livestock products.
Accordingly, the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission is in the
final stages of negotiation of a new Code of hygienic practice for
meat. The Code implies a transition from meat inspection towards a
risk-based approach covering the entire food chain. The Manual on
good practices for the meat industry aims to assist the industry to
prepare itself for compliance with the new regulatory framework,
which is expected to come into force when the Code is approved in
2005. It is targeted at the meat industry in developing countries
and in emerging economies in their endeavour to meet the rising
quality and safety requirements both of the export industry and
domestic markets, with the increased participation of large-scale
retailers. The publication is intended to guide managers of
abattoirs and the meat industry. It will also be of value to
veterinarians engaged in meat inspection, with their supervisory
roles in meat hygiene. The manual, well illustrated, is published
in detachable modules and also serves as a training resource. The
Codex Alimentarius "Draft code of hygienic practice for meat" is
included as an appendix.
