Title

Criticality Implementation&Education Committee - Frequently Asked Questions

Issue you would like the Conference to consider

The Criticality Implementation and Education Committee requests that FDA provide answers to a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) developed by the committee and have the FAQs and answers available for stakeholders on or before June 30, 2010.

Public Health Significance

The re-designation of the Food Code provisions from two to three criticality ratings was accepted by the 2008 Biennial Meeting of the Conference Food Protection. The Criticality Implementation and Education Committee was charged with providing a variety of educational tools to explain the changes and the rationale of the new three risk-based priority designations. A list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) was developed by the committee in anticipation of many of the questions that will be asked by stakeholders as they incorporate the use of the new designations into action plans, intervention strategies, and effectiveness measures. The FAQs will help stakeholders understand the use of the new designations in prioritizing violations and corrections in regards to risk factors.

Recommended Solution: The Conference recommends...

That a letter be sent to FDA requesting that they:

  1. provide answers to the list of FAQs included in the attached document.
  2. have the FAQs and answers available for stakeholders on or before June 30, 2010 by posting on the FDA website.
