techniques are routinely
employed within the industry for
reduction of pathogens. These
techniques include: fumigants
(ethylene oxide and propylene

quality impact and consumer
acceptance.

reluctant to buy consumer-packaged
spices and herbs from developing
countries. They see it as a risk, especially
in terms of food safety issues and
adulteration. Not all companies are willing
to take that risk.
The best opportunities for adding value
in spices and herbs are in food safety
and sustainability.
The best opportunities for value addition are in
state-of-the-art quality and food-safety
management and increasingly in sustainability
management as well. Food-safety certification is
generally required

standard that combines the ISO9001 approach
to food safety management and HACCP for the
assurance of food safety at all levels. ... The
standard integrates the principles of a Hazard
Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)
system developed by the Codex Alimentarius
Commission.
