Current partnerships: CARREFOUR

In 2004, with funding from the Carrefour International Foundation, FAO published a Manual on "Good Practices for the Meat Industry". The manual is a high quality colour publication that aims to implement in a practical way the Codex Alimentarius Code of Practice on Meat Hygiene.

The publication is intended to guide managers of abattoirs and the meat industry in a risk analysis approach; it also provides guidelines for primary production and will also serve as a training manual. It covers topics such as application of risk analysis principles to the meat sector, meat hygiene applying to primary production, animals transport, handling, stunning, traceability and control of processing operations.
