Abstract:
Traditional food markets frequently have inadequate infrastructure, limited access to potable water, unsanitary conditions, and inadequate storage facilities, making them especially risky places for the growth and spread of foodborne pathogens. Traditional markets also often lack effective government oversight. Government programs are important for providing a foundation to manage food safety by setting and enforcing minimum food safety and quality standards and by establishing uniform standards for the conduct of food businesses. Four regional guidelines developed by the Codex Alimentarius to improve the safety of street-vended food were examined for their application to traditional food markets. These guidelines provide important standards that can be used to improve food safety in traditional food markets in many countries, including advice to governments and market authorities in the areas of policy and regulation, infrastructure, food handling, vendor health and hygiene, and training and education. The guidelines can be supplemented with additional material from the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. However, given the gaps identified in the individual regional guidelines, a uniform international standard is needed for national, regional, and local governments to use when managing food safety in traditional markets.
摘要:
传统食品市场往往基础设施不足,饮用水有限,不卫生的条件,储存设施不足,使它们成为食源性病原体生长和传播的特别危险的地方。传统市场也往往缺乏有效的政府监督。政府计划对于通过制定和执行最低食品安全和质量标准以及为食品企业的经营建立统一标准来提供管理食品安全的基础非常重要。审查了食品法典为提高街头销售食品的安全性而制定的四项区域准则,以将其应用于传统食品市场。这些准则提供了重要的标准,可用于改善许多国家传统食品市场的食品安全,包括在政策和监管领域向政府和市场当局提供建议,基础设施,食物处理,供应商健康和卫生,培训和教育。可以用世界卫生组织和联合国粮食及农业组织的其他材料来补充准则。然而,鉴于个别区域准则中发现的差距,国家需要一个统一的国际标准,区域,和地方政府在管理传统市场的食品安全时使用。
