To whom do the requirements of the new EU hygiene package apply ?
The requirements of the EU hygiene package apply to all companies that produce, process, and market food following the initial production.
The "Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point" concept (HACCP concept) was developed in the USA in 1959, when an American food-processing company was instructed by the NASA space agency to produce food that was 100%-safe for consumption in space.
