Food safety
Hygiene requirements

(Please note: This title is only available in German!)

The field of food hygiene is as important as it is diverse. DIN Media handbook 280/1 is intended as a working aid for those responsible in industry and sales, bringing together many relevant documents in a compact compendium. The printed standards cover a wide range of aspects relating to hygiene requirements in the food sector. They are used in sales outlets, by manufacturers, distributors, hygiene officers and other persons responsible for food safety for reference, to prepare for inspections or as a basis for conformity.

These and many other topics can be found in this comprehensive book:

• Hygiene requirements for display containers (e.g. food kept hot, food at ambient temperature, salads and salad dressings in self-service counters)
• Materials, characteristics, suitability assessment and labelling
• Cleaning and disinfection
• Terms and definitions
• Ventilation systems
• Retained samples
• Online trade with food

Further important documents on this topic can be found in DIN handbook 280/2. This DIN handbook 280/1 has a list of the printed standards and regulations it contains.
 

Many changes in a comprehensive collection of standards

There have been significant developments in the standardization of aspects relating to food hygiene in the recent past. This is also reflected in this book, which contains 9 revised and 4 new documents. The changes affect a wide variety of areas. This results in a collection of standards that covers many topics relating to food hygiene and supports users in these tasks, for example:

• Online trading done professional
  The shipping of foodstuffs in the context of online retail brings with it special necessities and challenges. DIN 10543, which has been included for the first time, contains the requirements and information needed for delivering food to end consumers.
