CXC 1-1969 (Rev. 2020)

General Principles of Food Hygiene — HACCP Annex

Issuer: Codex Alimentarius Commission (FAO/WHO)

The internationally recognised methodology for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, foundation for every food-safety scheme.

Applies to

  • All poultry slaughter and processing
  • Egg packing and processing
  • Feed manufacturing

Key requirements

  • Assemble HACCP team
  • Describe product and identify intended use
  • Construct and verify flow diagram
  • Conduct hazard analysis; identify CCPs; establish critical limits
  • Establish monitoring, corrective actions, verification and record-keeping

How buyers cite this in procurement

Baseline mandatory reference in most jurisdictions and every private scheme. Processing plant design must physically support monitoring, isolation and traceability at each CCP.

Frequently asked

Is HACCP a certification?
HACCP is a methodology, not a certification. Certifications (ISO 22000, BRCGS, FSSC 22000, IFS) require an implemented HACCP plan as part of their scope.

For commercial farm feed buyers

Buying feed that must meet CXC 1-1969 (Rev. 2020) for a commercial farm

Farm buyers cite CXC 1-1969 (Rev. 2020) in the RFQ so every supplier quotes against the same requirement. FeedMatch structures that requirement and returns comparable offers from suppliers able to document compliance.

Best for
Commercial farms, integrators, distributors and feed buyers sourcing feed that must meet CXC 1-1969 (Rev. 2020) and related feed, additives or nutrition supply on a recurring commercial scale — not pet food, hobby farms or backyard quantities.
Animal species covered
Broilers and layers, dairy and beef cattle, pigs, tilapia, salmon and shrimp, plus sheep and goats on request.
Typical feed buyer needs
A written specification, verified suppliers who can hold that specification, comparable pricing on the same delivery terms, documented quality (CoA, certifications) and a supply schedule that matches production.
Bulk feed and recurring supply
Most requests are bulk or big-bag volumes on monthly or quarterly contracts. Volume per delivery, storage capacity on farm and contract length change price more than the headline per-tonne quote.
Feed additives and premix
Premix, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, organic acids, toxin binders and other additives can be quoted alongside compound feed or ingredients so one supplier comparison covers the whole ration.
What affects feed cost
Raw-material origin and specification, inclusion rates, freight and Incoterms, packaging, order volume, payment terms, currency and certification requirements. Landed cost, not ex-works price, decides the winner.
RFQ checklist
Species and production stage, tonnes per month, target specification, delivery port or farm location, packaging, required certifications, first delivery date and contract duration.
Supplier matching process
You define the requirement, FeedMatch structures the RFQ, sends it to relevant qualified suppliers, and returns comparable offers side by side so you can negotiate on equal terms.
Buyer is not charged
Farm buyers are not charged to submit a requirement, receive matched suppliers or compare quotes.

FeedMatch helps farm buyers compare feed suppliers, nutrition providers, additives suppliers and related solutions. FeedMatch is an intermediary and does not manufacture feed or provide financing directly.
