The project, called HARMONY, evaluated the scientific basis of the safety criteria for good manufacturing practice (GMP) and legislation, as applied to minimally processed foods (eg chilled, sous-vide, etc), in such a way that harmonization of criteria is optimal. These details have been collated in a 46 page inventory report. The inventory of legislation contains details of European and national food legislation. The former embraces the structure of European food and hygiene legislation (General Directive 93/43/EEC, and Vertical Directives). The latter deals with the implementation of Directive 93/43/EEC, and also differences in national legislation in terms of temperature requirements and microbiological norms. Areas addressed in the inventory of GMP include: the forthcoming Codex Committee code of hygienic practice for refrigerated packaged foods with extended shelf life; the code of practice developed by the European Chilled Foods Federation (ECFF) in 1996 (available on Website http://www.harmony.alma.be) for chilled foods; and an inventory of current national codes of good hygiene practice for minimally processed foods as applied to different food industry sectors (ie. food manufacturing, catering, retailing and distribution).
