Codex texts on foodborne antimicrobial resistance (1st edition)

This special publication has been prepared to support the Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) that WHO is developing in collaboration with FAO and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) with a view to its adoption in May 2015.

The publication compiles the two Codex specific texts on foodborne AMR: Guidelines for Risk Analysis of Foodborne Antimicrobial Resistance (CAC/GL 77-2011) and Code of Practice to Minimize and Contain Antimicrobial Resistance (CAC/RCP 61-2005). Specific standards of importance to animal production are published by the OIE.
