FDA to Hold Public Meeting Feb. 28 in D.C on Produce Safety, Preventative Controls Proposals
The Food and Drug Administration will hold a public meeting Feb. 28 in Washington, D.C. to discuss its proposed produce safety and hazard analysis and risk-based preventative controls rules. At the meetings, FDA will hear oral stakeholder and public comments on the proposed rules, and inform the public about the rulemaking process (including how to submit comments, data, and other information to the rulemaking dockets), and to respond to questions about the proposed rules. On-site registration will be available, but FDA is encouraging attendees to pre-register by Feb. 20. Commenters will each have three minutes to speak. Requests to speak at the public meeting are due by Feb. 8. Requests to present, as well as advance registration, are available here.
