6. Description of content

These new Regulations has been compiled to govern the handling, transportation, storage and sale of foodstuffs to the general public of South Africa by food-producing establishments in order to protect the consumers against any potential risk of contracting food poisoning or a food-borne illness. The new Regulations provide for updates in respect of, inter alia, inclusions, deletions, modifications of definitions, deletion of sections no longer relevant, and movement of certain Regulations to enhance clarity. In addition, hygienic requirements for appliances, bulk milk tanks and butchery equipment have been included, as well as provisions for the hygienic transportation of meat and meat products. The review also included alignment with Codex Alimentarius and other international scientific developments e.g. from the World Health Organisation such as the 5 Keys to Safe Foods to ensure South African Food Legislation is current and based on international norms and standards.
Le nouveau règlement notifié est destiné à régir la manipulation, le transport, l'entreposage et la vente des denrées alimentaires au grand public en Afrique du Sud par les établissements de production d'aliments dans le but de protéger les consommateurs contre tout risque potentiel de contracter une intoxication alimentaire ou une maladie d'origine alimentaire. Ce règlement est actualisé (ajouts, suppressions, modifications de définitions, suppression de parties ayant perdu leur pertinence ou déplacement de règles aux fins d'une plus grande clarté, entre autres). Des exigences en matière d'hygiène concernant les appareils, les cuves à lait et l'équipement de boucherie ont été incorporées, de même que des dispositions relatives à l'hygiène dans le transport de la viande et des produits carnés. Les exigences du règlement sont alignées sur celles du Codex Alimentarius et d'autres textes scientifiques internationaux, comme le Manuel sur les cinq clefs pour des aliments plus sûrs de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé, afin d'assurer que la législation sud-africaine relative aux aliments soit pertinente et fondée sur les normes internationales.
en el nuevo Reglamento notificado se establecen requisitos para la manipulación, el transporte, el almacenamiento y la venta de productos de establecimientos del sector alimentario al público en Sudáfrica, para proteger a los consumidores de los riesgos de toxicidad y enfermedades transmisibles por los alimentos. Se establecen nuevas definiciones, se suprimen o modifican otras, se suprimen artículos que ya no son pertinentes y se desplazan algunas disposiciones en el texto para mayor claridad. También se incluyen requisitos de higiene para aparatos, cisternas de leche de gran volumen y material de carnicería, así como disposiciones en materia de higiene en el transporte de carne y productos cárnicos. Además, se integran disposiciones del Codex Alimentarius y de otros textos científicos internacionales, como el Manual sobre las cinco claves para la inocuidad de los alimentos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, para garantizar que la legislación alimentaria de Sudáfrica es actual y está basada en reglas y normas internacionales.
