In France, after the fresh
cut food producer union had enquired, the CSHPF (General Council
for Public Hygiene, now integrated into the AFSSA, French Agency
for Food Safety), advised not to use chlorine anymore for disinfection.
Nevertheless, considering there was no substitution method at
the time, it recommended to use very low concentrations of chlorine
in washing waters.
The United States, The
United Kingdom and Australia tolerate the use of chlorine.
On the other hand, in
Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Scandinavia, using chlorine in
the agrofood industry is prohibited. |
