RECOMMENDED INTERNATIONAL CODE OF HYGIENIC PRACTICE,FOR DESICCATED COCONUT,(CAC/RCP 4-1971),SECTION I - SCOPE, The following code of hygienic practice applies to desiccated coconut, the dried product prepared for human consumption without requiring further processing which is obtained by shredding or otherwise comminuting the pared kernel of coconuts, the fruit of the palm, Cocos nucifera.,SECTION II - DEFINITIONS,A. Coconuts - coconuts consist of an outer skin (green or brown when harvested) enclosing a thick fibrous coating or husk; inside the husk is a woody shell which encloses the kernel and which is separated from it by a brown skin. The pared kernel consists of a solid white layer enclosing an aqueous liquid known as coconut water.,B. Coconut meat - white solid layer of the kernel.,C. Dehusking - the removal of the husk, leaving the shell intact.,D. Hatcheting - the removal of the shell.,E. Paring - the removal of the brown skin around the kernel.,SECTION III - RAW MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS,A. Environmental Sanitation in Growing and Food Production Areas,(1) Sanitary disposal of human and animal wastes. Adequate precaution should be taken to ensure that human and animal wastes are disposed of in such a manner as not to constitute a public health or hygienic hazard and extreme care should be taken to protect products from contamination with these wastes, particularly those products that may be consumed without heat treatment.,(2) Animal, plant pest and disease control. Where control measures are undertaken, treatment with chemical, biological or physical agents should be done only in accordance with the recommendations of the appropriate official agency, by or under the direct supervision of personnel with a thorough understanding of the hazards involved, including the possibility of toxic residues being retained by the crop.,B. Sanitary Harvesting and Food Production,(1) Sanitary techniques. Harvesting and production operations, methods and procedures should be clean and sanitary.,(2) Protection of product from contamination. After harvesting, clean and sanitary methods should be observed to protect against contamination of the nuts during the process of ripening and dehusking. Following dehusking, special precautions are necessary to ensure that contamination does not occur.,C. Transportation,(1) Facilities. Conveyances for transporting the harvested crop, which may have the husk removed on the plantation, should be adequate for the purpose and should be of such material and construction as will permit thorough cleaning and should be so cleaned and maintained as not to constitute a source of contamination to the nuts.,(2) Handling procedures. All handling procedures should be such as will prevent the product from being contaminated. Extreme care should be taken in transporting dehusked coconuts to prevent spoilage or deterioration.,SECTION IV - PLANT FACILITIES AND OPERATING REQUIREMENTS,A. Plant Construction and Layout,(1) Location, size and sanitary design. The buildings and surrounding area:, - should be such as can be kept reasonably free of objectionable odours, smoke, dust, or other contamination;, - should be of sufficient size for the purpose intended without crowding of equipment or personnel;, - should be of sound construction and kept in good repair;, - should be of such construction as to protect against the entrance and harbouring of insects, birds or vermin;, - should be so designed as to permit easy and adequate cleaning., Special precautions should be taken in the shredding, desiccating, and packing sections to protect against the entry of birds, insects and vermin and for this purpose all openings should be covered with perforated metal gauze or other suitable protective covering., Separate and adequate space should be provided for the storage of nuts awaiting manufacture, shell awaiting disposal, rejected nuts, firewood, etc., Floors should be constructed of material which is not capable of supporting microbial growth, and should be hard surfaced. They should be designed and so drained as to facilitate effective cleaning.,(2) Sanitary facilities and controls, (a) Separation of processes. The husk, if it is not removed in the growing area, should be removed in a place separate from the factory. Deshusked nuts should be received into the factory buildings, and the processes of hatcheting, paring, and washing of the coconut meat should be carried out in a separate section from the subsequent processes. There should be no direct access from the hatcheting, paring, and washing sections to the other sections., The sections should be so arrange……
