1. the handling of foodstuffs;
2. the premises in which foodstuffs are handled and their equipment;
3. the areas and equipment in slaughterhouses required depending on the types and numbers of animals to be slaughtered.
The Federal Council may specify hygiene knowledge requirements for the persons who handle foodstuffs.
