berries (e.g. black pepper), buds (e.g. clove), bulbs (e.g. dried garlic), leaves (e.g. dried basil),
rhizomes (e.g. ginger, turmeric), seeds (e.g. mustard), stigmas (e.g. saffron), pods (e.g. vanilla), resins
(e.g. asafoetida), fruits (e.g. dried chilli) or plant tops (e.g. dried chives). It covers the minimum
requirements of hygiene for growing, harvesting and post-harvest practices (e.g. curing, bleaching,
blanching, cutting, drying, cleaning, grading, packing, transportation and storage, including disinfestation
and fumigation) processing establishment, processing technology and practices (e.g. grinding, blending,
freezing and freeze-drying, treatments to reduce the microbial load) packaging and storage of processed
