Working with OIE on Salmonellosis in pigs and cattle

The Codex Secretariat is participating in the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) working group on Salmonellosis in pig and in cattle taking place at OIE HQ in Paris, 8-10 December 2015.

This ad-hoc working group will further revise the draft chapters of the OIE Animal Terrestrial Health Code on Salmonellosis in pigs and cattle, taking into account the comments of the OIE members and Codex work on the guidelines for the Control of non-thyphoidal Salmonella spp. in beef and pork meat, recently finalised by the Codex Food Hygiene Committee.

Codex OIE Collaboration

The work carried out on Salmonella in Codex and OIE is a further example of the close collaboration of Codex and OIE in the development of standards relevant to the whole food production chain. Working together ensures effective coordination and harmonisation of work to benefit producers, traders and consumers in the fields of food safety and animal health.
