As part of the celebrations for World Food Safety Day (June 7), the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) launched their new food safety toolbox – a new central repository for guidance documents based on the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene.

The documents can help policymakers and food manufacturers to ensure that their programs, processes, and policies align with internationally recognized best practices using Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), Good Hygiene Practices (GHPs) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems.

Vireo Advisors applauds the creation of this toolbox which provides a valuable resource as we work with our clients and partners develop to establish the safety and support the commercialization of next-generation sustainable foods and food contact materials.
