    activities)?
  • Guide to Good Hygiene Practices (including
    primary production) and application of HACCP
  • Staff training

15
GBPH
  • Collates recommendations specific to a given
    family of food products, OR if possible at a
    stage that allows regulatory health objectives to

  • Is based on a HACCP-type approach
  • Is validated from a scientific and technical
    point of view

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
  • Some fruit and vegetables have to comply with
    criteria imposed by national laws
  • e.g.
  • Order of 28th August 1972 on prunes
  • Order of 15th December 1970 on dates

17
  • EU regulation for pesticides on foodstuffs
  • Regulation (EC) N396/2005 and Regulation (EC)

  • In 2009, the Unit screened 4.953 samples of
    fruit, vegetables, cereals, and processed
    products marketed in France, including 1.471 that
    were part of targeted inspections.
  • Sample breakdown according to origin
  • 67.0 of French origin
  • 15.9 from other EU Member States
  • 14.4 imported from third countries
  • 2.6 of undetermined origin
  • Screening makes it possible to search for and
    measure 308 active ingredients. The most
    frequently encountered compounds are insecticides
    and fungicides.

Regulation on the provision of food information
to consumersRegulation N ----/2011
  • Merges eight sector-based pieces of legislation
    including Directives 2000/13 and 90/496 to
    streamline and improve consumer information

  • Strengthens certain provisions (legibility)
  • Introduces new obligations (nutrition declaration)

21
Conclusion
  • The Regulation on the provision of food
    information to consumers attempts to reconcile
    two different areas
  • Taking account of technical data, in particular
    the size of the label, its legibility and the
    restrictions binding on professionals.
  • Providing more information on food to consumers
    complies with a requirement, in particular
    concerning origin and allergens
