The aim of this Code of Practice is to set out the arrangements for responsibility of managing food incidents at local and national level involving food hazards as identified by food businesses, official agencies or other Member States (notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF)) and the associated communications. The objective of this is to have a co-ordinated approach to ensure that food products identified as being a risk to consumers are controlled or removed from the food chain.
