This document has been developed by FAO and WHO following a request from the Thirty-fifth Session of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) for guidance on hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) in small and less-developed businesses (SLDBs), to address obstacles, identified by member countries, facing the small food business sector. It provides a historical background and a summary of the work of the Codex Alimentarius Commission on HACCP. It identifies the challenges facing small food businesses in the application of HACCP, outlines the steps for the development of a HACCP strategy and describes a number of strategic activities based on the collective experience of experts. Wherever possible, examples of national approaches are provided.--Publisher's description.

This volume contains monographs prepared at the 64th meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food additives (JECFA), which met in Rome, Italy, from 8 to 17 February 2005. Six food contaminants or groups of contaminants were evaluated at the meeting (acrylamide, cadmium, ethyl carbamate, inorganic tin, polybrominated dipenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The monographs summarise data reviewed on these contaminants, including information on metabolism and toxicity, epidemiology, analytical methods for their measurement in food commodities, sampling protocols, effects of processing, levels and patterns of contamination of food commodities, food consumption, and prevention and control.
