Ad hoc Codex Intergovernmental Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance The Ad hoc Codex Intergovernmental Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance TFAMR was reconvened in 2017 and is responsible for reviewing and revising, as appropriate, the Code of Practice to Minimize and Contain Antimicrobial Resistance CAC/RCP 61
2005 to address the entire food chain, in line with the mandate of Codex; and considering the development of Guidance on Integrated Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance, taking into account the guidance developed by the WHO Advisory Group on Integrated Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance AGISAR and relevant World Organization for Animal Health OIE documents. The objective of the Task Force is to develop science-based guidance on the management of foodborne antimicrobial resistance, taking full account of the WHO Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance, in particular Objectives 3
and 4, the work and standards of relevant international organizations, such as FAO, WHO, and OIE, and the One-Health approach, to ensure members have the necessary guidance to enable coherent management of antimicrobial resistance along the food chain. The Task Force is expected to complete this work within three or a maximum of four sessions, beginning with TFAMR5 2017.
