Resumen
Descripción
A key responsibility of every government is the protection of its population against health hazards and commercial fraud from food. This responsibility, in most countries, involves more than one government department. Many countries in Asia are in the process of formulating food safety standards. It is important that these standards be formulated with multi-stakeholder involvement so that they are not skewed towards specific goals relating to a single sector (such as exports) or cater only to th e interests of specific groups in the food chain. This publication records the proceedings of a regional workshop on guidelines for development of food safety policies for countries in Asia held in Bangkok, Thailand from 17 to19 December 2012. The report concludes with institutional and technical priority actions for governments to consider.
