Good hygiene practice on bottling lines

Scope of application

Council Directive 93/43 of 14/06/93 on the hygiene of foodstuffs calls on professional organizations in the food industry to develop guidelines for the use of professional organizations dedicated to Hygiene.
The drafting of these guidelines must meet two requirements:
  • To respect the principles of food hygiene of the Codex Alimentarius of the F.A.O;
  • To use the H.A.C.C.P (hazard analysis, critical control points) approach in establishing procedures to ensure food safety.
They are voluntary and can be used in practice by the people concerned.
They are validated by the public authorities after advice from the High Council of Public Hygiene, and presented to the National Food Council for information.
The Quality Commission of the Bottling Institute of the French Movement for Quality was proposed to work on the drafting of a guide specially designed for professionals in the bottling and packaging of food products.
