Hi all,

 

 

Do you know any manual or references where I could see the official definition of terms mentioned in any Food safety Standards?

 

 

 

Thanks,

Hi Joan,

 

I think the problem is that there are often many different "Official" definitions.

Do you know any reference of those official definitions? Anything will do.

 

 

Thanks.

Hi Joan,

 

Just as an example, BRC for their HACCP definitions cite Codex.

 

The "official" reference is logically to the most recent version of the Codex Hygiene publication which afaik is 2009. I expect you are familiar with that already.

 

SQF similarly cite Codex (and NACMCF) but from memory still reference the 2003 Codex version ('or latest version" perhaps). Their updating system is slow.

NACMCF afaik only has one (final) published version, ca 1997.

 

However the haccp definitions in "Codex Hygiene" 2009, 2003, 1997 are from memory near identical. Possibly even 100% identical.

 

Is that what you wanted ?
