Implementing the code is not a guarantee of food safety and quality. However, management systems that are developed to meet the requirements of this code will minimize the risks to consistently achieving product safety and quality.
Food safety is fundamental to any developed country. Consumers expect and demand that the food they consume is safe and of high quality. The Standard has been prepared for the export, import, orchards, vineyards, wine industry, retail, food service, hotel, hospitality, storage and transportation to cover all food handling preparation storage and processing operations including transportation.
The Code is an integrated food safety and quality system requirement for use by all sectors of the food industry. The code must meet CODEX Alimentarius Commission Guidelines.
