GROUNDNUTS (PEANUTS) – CODE OF HYGIENIC PRACTICE FOR HANDLING AND PROCESSING (FIRST REVISION)
This Malaysian Standard contains the minimum requirements of hygiene for farm handling, transportation, storage, in-shell operations, commercial shelling and commercial processing. It covers all types and forms of raw, dried groundnuts in-shell, kernels and processed groundnuts. It applies to groundnuts, also known as peanuts (Arachis hypogaea Linnaeus). Wherever the word ‘groundnuts’ appears in this standard, it is referred to as ‘peanuts’, unless otherwise specified.
