Abstract

Public concerns relating to food safety remain high, with most attention focused on manufactured foods and those served in catering operations. The viral contamination of food can occur anywhere in the food supply chain from farm to fork, but most food-borne viral infections can be traced back to infected persons who handle food that is neither heated nor otherwise treated. Regard to the increasing incidence of food-borne viral infections, the Codex Alimentarius Committee on Food Hygiene issued an international draft on a Code of Hygienic Practice for the control of viruses in foods. Using SWOT analysis as a methodological tool, the main results of the analysis revealed limitations of the document regarding language terminology, detection methodology and transparency.
