Report of the Direct to Consumer Delivery Committee (DTCDC)

The Direct to Consumer Delivery Committee requests acknowledgement of their final report and that the Conference thank the committee members for their efforts and hard work.

This guidance document provides food safety best practices for managing or performing direct to consumer (DTC) or third-party delivery (TPD) services. This document includes parameters critical to preventive controls, mechanisms to assess risk, validation and verification practices, recommendations for proper packaging, temperature control, receiving and storage, physical and chemical contamination control, allergen control, general food safety information, and suggestion for return of compromised and abused products. The intent of the guide is primarily to provide best practices for preventing biological, physical and chemical contamination as well as the growth of harmful bacteria and/or the formation of toxins within the food being transported.

The Committee recommends that the Conference:

1. Acknowledge the committee final report.
2. Thank the voting members, at large non-voting members, federal consultants and observers for their tireless service.
3. Disband the committee.
