Sažetak

Producers of food in the EU have to comply with the legislative requirements that, except other, require safety management through HACCP or hygienic codes (93/43/EEC). Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) is designed to prevent the occurrence of problems by assuring that controls are applied at any point in a meat production system where hazardous or critical situations could occur. Until now, it is probably the best way how to manage food safety. Development of the HACCP system is, however, quite demanding in respect of human, technological and thus financial resources. While this may not be a problem for large establishments, small producers often feel it economically impossible to develop and establish a functional HACCP by them. Therefore they would appreciate availability of the abovementioned hygienic codes.
In the past, food producers had been only required to use a positive approach of good manufacturing practices (GMP) for producing food in a hygienic manner and got used to it. The food codes would, by their nature, is better fitting to this way of approach than full fledged HACCP. In this generic model, there is an example, or guide, for developing of a food code for cooked meat products.
