Code of Hygienic Practice for Aseptically Processed and Packaged Low-Acid Foods
Preface
Aseptic processing and packaging of low-acid foods is a complicated food manufacturing process. It requires careful control at all stages of production with a view to producing safe and wholesome foods, and it is well known that the control system embraces a large number of inter-related operations. This Code of Hygienic Practice is prepared by the Centre for Food Safety of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department following consultation with the trade and relevant organizations. It is intended to provide a fundamental guide as to the operation of the aseptically processed and packaged low-acid foods and to advise on the measures necessary to produce safe and wholesome low-acid foods.
Food Processors who wish to discuss any aspect of this Code may contact the Communication Resource Unit (Tel No.:2381 6096) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department.
