Food transportation
The difficulty of maintaining a cold chain during transportation was noted by several nations. In the following quotes, PacificIs h states the problem and Asia f lists an objective to improve the situation: Pucijicls h: food distribution is poorly regulated, with only meat and fish transport vehicles included in the Food Hygiene Regulations. While many operators provide safe and suitable transport for food, there are anecdotal reports of frozen or refrigerated foods being carried at ambient temperatures for several hours, or of food and chemicals being loaded together. Asia $ more attention will be given to the manage- ment of food storage, transportation and distribu- tion and the extent of cold-chain setting for meat products.
Zoonotic pathogens
Zoonotic pathogens (pathogens of diseases capable of being transmitted from animals to humans) have recently been increasing in reported incidence (Todd, 1994). Of the nations which mentioned problems with zoonotic diseases, control strategies included educa- tion of food producers and handlers and veterinary management as well as one European country’s strategy to develop a coordinated control programme through a Centre for Zoonoses.
Chemical Agents in Food
In the national plans of action, more than 25% of countries listed concern about residues of agricultural and veterinary chemicals such as crop treatments, pesticides and veterinary medicines and several discussed the need to address the problems of mould toxins. Concern about the use of unapproved and potentially hazardous additives was also expressed.
Asia e: up till now, the country has had a low use of pesticides but the amount of agro-chemicals imported has grown alarmingly in recent years. So far, national standards for pesticide residues have not yet been established for the country. Since the country has encountered some ‘pesticide residues in food’ problems in international trade, it is essential to set maximum residue limits and legally control them. Africa h: uncontrolled use of chemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers and growth promoters is still one of the major problems in spite of the positive measures taken by the Ministry of Agriculture for reducing the use of pesticides. Africa f: post harvest malpractices often result in food spoilage giving rise to microbial toxins.
