Primary Production / Good Practice


In order to guarantee harmless foodstuffs throughout the food chain, the first step is to control primary production.

Some of the principles included in Regulation (CE) 852/2004 of April 29, relating to the hygiene of food products, are being extended to primary production (agricultural and livestock farms, fish farms, etc.), and new principles are being included such as:
- Adopt the principal of "from the farm to the table" so that all hygiene standards include food production from farms. Good Hygienic Practices represent the prelude to the implementation of the HACCP on farms.
- Draw up national and autonomous community good practice guidelines for each food sector.
- Procedures that allow the traceability of foods and their ingredients to be improved.
- A series of additional rules for foodstuffs of animal and vegetable origin.
For all these reasons, together with a group of experts in this field, Associations and production sectors, ELIKA is promoting the preparation of a set of Good Practice Guidelines for the primary sector, in order to identify the hazards that may exist in this kind of production, and to establish measures to control and prevent these, the analyses to be made and the records to be controlled.
