Adoption of Federal Regulations and Other Standards

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rule development is to update the federal regulations and standards previously adopted by reference in this rule section and used by this agency to facilitate the regulation and inspection of agriculture based food establishments.  The proposed rule will adopt the 2009 U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code (Food Code) and related federal regulations, which are the national standards for food safety regulation.  The effect of this proposed rule is to provide uniformity and consistency with both our regulated industry that is already operating on the current versions of the Food Code and federal code language and with our federal partners with which we have ongoing cooperative agreements for inspection services.

SUBJECT:

Update the relevant Codes of Federal Regulation and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code which are the national standards and model codes for food safety regulation.
