BH GSO CXC 61:2023 Scope

This code of practice provides risk management guidance to address the risk to human health of the development and transmission of antimicrobial resistant microorganisms or resistance determinants through food. It provides risk-based guidance on relevant measures and practices along the food chain to minimize and contain the development and spread of foodborne AMR, including guidance on the responsible and prudent use of antimicrobial agents in animal production (terrestrial and aquatic) plant/crop production, and references other best management practices, as appropriate. This document includes guidance for all interested parties involved in the authorization, manufacture, sale and supply, prescription and use of antimicrobial agents in the food chain together with those involved in the handling, preparation, food processing, storage, transport, wholesale and retail distribution and consumption of food who have a role to play in ensuring the responsible and prudent use of antimicrobial agents and/or who have a role with limiting the development and spread of foodborne antimicrobial resistant microorganisms and resistance determinants. Most of the recommendations in this code of practice focus on antibacterials, however some recommendations may also be applicable to antiviral, antiparasitic, antiprotozoal, and antifungal agents, where there is scientific evidence of foodborne AMR risk to human health.
