Issue Number: Council III 004
Title
Issue you would like the Conference to consider
At the 2008 Conference for Food Protection, the FDA posed questions related to on-site generators of antimicrobial pesticides. The Sanitizer Committee was formed to address the following charge:
"to work with the FDA, EPA and other stakeholders to develop appropriate language for the Food Code addressing on-site generation of pesticides in food establishments and report back to the 2010 CFP Council III."
The 2008-10 Sanitizer Committee is submitting two issues to the 2010 Conference for Food Protection:
- Report - Sanitizer Committee
- On-Site Generation of Antimicrobial Pesticides
The following attachments are also submitted:
- '2008-10_Sanitizer_Committee_Final_Report'
- '2008-10_Sanitizer_Committee_Roster'
- 'Food_Code_Recommendations_for_On-site_Generation_of_Antimicrobials' (extracted from Committee Report)
Public Health Significance
Proper use of sanitizers is an important step to prevent cross contamination and food safety failures. On-site generation of sanitizers and other antimicrobials is not addressed in the 2009 Food Code, and the regulatory process and requirements for sanitizers generated and used on-site varies considerably from the regulatory process for manufactured products. Clarification of the Food Code requirements for on-site generated sanitizers is essential to ensure proper use of these materials and to avoid unproductive confusion for inspectors and operators.
Recommended Solution: The Conference recommends...
acknowledgment of the 2008-10 Sanitizer Committee Report, with thanks to the members of the Sanitizer Committee for completing their task, and disbanding the committee.
