FOOD FRESH

Perishable foods are those that, due to their natural characteristics, are acceptable for consumption for less than 30 days or that require controlled temperature conditions. These products are foods of animal origin (meat, fish, eggs, milk and derivatives) and vegetable.

The import or export of this type of food to or from third countries outside the European Union requires that a series of food safety requirements be met. Depending on the type of food, the applicable legislation for that product must be complied with. In general we can say that the requirements are the following:

  • The importer must be registered in the General Sanitary Reg. Of Food and Food Companies
  • The establishment of origin of the food must have been approved by the EU and must appear on the list of authorized establishments.
  • They must demonstrate that they comply with Regulations 853/2004 and 852/2004
  • Labeling and packaging according to regulations

If we also consider that they are foods of animal origin, specifically:

  • Third authorized country
  • Waste plan approved for the product in question in the country of origin
  • Slaughterhouses, cutting rooms, authorized farms or approved production areas (mollusks, echinoderms, etc.)

For foods of plant origin:

  • Phytosanitary certificate issued by the competent national authority.
