78. The Committee recalled the request of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) to review three specific points of the Code and the decision of this Committee to ask IDF to undertake the work. There was a general support to the proposal that the code should be amended to make it less mandatory and that the CIP (Clean in Place) system should not be separated. Several delegations expressed the desire that the Code should include the proposition of IDF concerning the production, storage and transport of raw milk destined for the manufacture of unripened cheese and ripened soft cheese, after the milk has been pasteurized or has received an equivalent treatment. The Committee recommended that Annex 2 of the IDF proposal be applied to all milk products. The Committee agreed that the document prepared by IDF along with the comment papers and the discussion at this Session be referred back to the CCFH.
