Toxins have been observed in various food products, suggesting a need for a comprehensive programme on toxicological surveillance on proper post-harvest handling methods for the producers and consumers. Asia r: indiscriminate use of dyes in various kinds of food are seen in the market. This is mainly due to consumers’ attitudes and habits in accepting highly coloured foods. Many of the plans of action list strategies to control chemical agents in food. The internationally adopted food standards of Codex Alimentarius will be used by many countries since the Codex Alimentarius Commission has assessed over 700 food additives and established more than 3200 maximum residue limits for pesticides. Education of farmers and food proces- sors were the primary strategies mentioned to achieve the goal of reducing the use of chemicals in food production and processing. Pacificls c also proposed an additional strategy which was to control the distri- bution, sale, use and storage of agro-chemicals.
HACCP A few countries specifically mentioned utilizing Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) to identify and manage hazards in foods. Use of HACCP for the processing of certain foods has been recommended by the European Union (EU, 1993) and by some individual countries. Hathaway (1995) has stated that ‘As the HACCP approach to enhancing food safety is increasingly applied in domestic food production, there is an obvious need for international agencies to facilitate and promote a similar application of HACCP in production systems for food in international trade’. A FAO booklet, The Use of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Principles in Food Control (FAO, 1995a) is now available to assist countries who are imple- menting HACCP programmes.
