Food hygiene is a key concern in ensuring food safety. It runs from the start of the food chain with hygiene rules for professionals all the way to hygiene advice in the home.
The laboratory for studies and research on food quality and processing and the unit for the evaluation of biological risks of the department for the evaluation of nutritional and health risks work on this topic.

In this context, the hygiene package encompasses the whole food business sector from primary animal and plant production to consumers; covering the food processing industry, catering professions, transportation and distribution.

Afssa validates good practice guides for professionals.
