美國FDA更新食品設(shè)施注冊行業(yè)指南

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)美國FDA消息，11月18日美國FDA更新食品設(shè)施注冊行業(yè)指南，發(fā)布食品設(shè)施注冊的問與答（第六版）。新版指南增加一項關(guān)于農(nóng)場食品設(shè)施注冊的問答。

    新版注冊指南新增的農(nóng)場類型為：在不同所有權(quán)下，包裝、貯藏自家農(nóng)場生鮮農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的農(nóng)場。如果關(guān)于“農(nóng)場”定義的修訂案按照立法提議完成，那么這種農(nóng)場將無需注冊。

    部分原文報道如下：

    The new question and answer explains FDA's policy regarding food facility registration for farms that also pack or hold raw agricultural commodities grown on a farm under different ownership and that would no longer be required to register if the proposed amendments to the “farm” definition are finalized as proposed in the rulemaking. Under this policy, as discussed in the guidance, FDA does not intend to prioritize enforcing the registration requirement for such establishments.  This policy is a less burdensome policy consistent with the public health.  FDA intends to make further updates to this guidance once certain FSMA rulemakings are final in order to make sure questions and answers, key terms, and definitions are consistent and accurate with regard to the registration of food facility requirements.
