Insights on the revision of the General Principles of Food Hygiene (GPFH)
Codex
Jun 14, 2023
In 2022 the Codex Secretariat began work on reviewing the formatting and layout of Codex texts to ensure consistency, to meet FAO and international publishing standards and to enhance readability. A digital object identifier (DOI) has also been added to standards as they are published, providing a unique reference that can support tracking and citation of each text. The project is part of the Codex Secretariat’s contribution to the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
Jenny Scott, a long-standing delegate at the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene, has worked on the revision of the General Principles of Food Hygiene (GPFH) and explores in an interesting article some of the changes to this foundation Codex Code of Practice.
