European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group
- European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group
EHEDG, the (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group) is a European-based non-governmental organization devoted to the advancement of hygienic design and food engineering. EHEDG is a consortium of equipment manufacturers, food industries, research institutes and public health authorities, founded in 1989 with the aim to promote hygiene during the processing and packing of food products.
European legislation requires that handling, preparation, processing, packaging, etc. of food is done hygienically, with hygienic machinery in hygienic premises ( the food hygiene directive, the machine directive and the food contact materials directive).
How to comply with these requirements, however, is left to the industry. EHEDG provides practical guidance on hygienic engineering aspects to help complying to these requirements. As food safety does not end at the borders of Europe, the EHEDG actively promotes global harmonization of guidelines and standards.
EHEDG publices guidelines (approx. 25) on different aspects of hygienic design and provides certification for industires on equipment used in the food industry.
Together with EFFoST and [Wageningen University] , EHEDG runs the website [http://www.food-info.net Food-Info] , which provides general information on foods to the public.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee consists of a President, Past Presdident and twelve Members-At-Large.
Headquarters
EHEDG is headquartered at the VMDA in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
