The Food and Drug Administration issued a draft guidance document intended to help animal food facilities develop food safety plans to comply with FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act preventive controls for animal food regulations. The draft guidance includes information on the biological, chemical and physical hazards in the manufacturing, processing, packing and holding of animal food; the components of a food safety plan; and the importance of each component. It also details how to conduct a hazard analysis and develop a food safety plan, and identify and apply preventive controls, as well as how to comply with monitoring, verification and record-keeping requirements under the regulations. Comments on the draft guidance are due July 23, FDA said.
Exporters of dairy products to the European Union must sign up for a new electronic list by March 1 or else lose the ability to ship to the EU, the Food and Drug Administration said in a constituent update. On that date, FDA is fully transitioning to Dairy Listing Module, created in 2016 (see 1607260035), for EU dairy products, it said. Exporter lists for Chile and China have already transitioned to the electronic system, FDA said. “All currently listed firms that have not applied in DLM by” March 1 “will be removed from the EU dairy list and will not be able to obtain the export certificates necessary to ship dairy products to the EU.”
