FDA Extends Comment Period on Proposed Record Keeping for High-Risk Foods

FDA is extending the period for comments on its proposal to set new record-keeping requirements for foods it deems high-risk, it said in a notice released Dec. 17. Part of its ongoing implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act, the agency’s proposed rule would require entities at key points in the supply chain to keep records of certain high-risk foods as they move through the supply chain, and also more general records of their traceability record-keeping program (see 2009220041). Comments on the proposal are now due Feb. 22, 2021.
