Code of Hygienic Practice for Powdered Formulae for Infants and Young Children
Standards
The objective of this Code is to provide practical guidance and recommendations to governments, industry, health care professionals/caregivers of infants and young children, as appropriate, on the hygienic manufacture of PF and on the subsequent hygienic preparation, handling and use of reconstituted formulae. The Code supplements the Recommended International Code of Practice - General Principles of Food Hygiene (CAC/RCP 1-1969) and the Code of Hygienic Practice for Milk and Milk Products (CAC/RCP 57- 2004), with an emphasis on the control of microbiological hazards, in particular Salmonella and E. sakazakii (Cronobacter species). The Code identifies relevant control measures at the various steps in the food chain that can be employed to reduce the risks for infants and young children that are associated with the consumption of PF.
