Title

Creation of a Digital Food Safety System Committee

Issue you would like the Conference to consider

That a Digital Food Safety System Committee be created of members from all constituencies of the CFP.

Public Health Significance

Technology platforms available to the foodservice industry today can provide levels of operational insights not previously possible. These systems provide real-time information that support a preventative approach to managing food safety. By establishing industry supported best practices focused on measuring and reporting on active managerial control foodborne illness incidents will be reduced.

Recommended Solution: The Conference recommends...

The creation of a Digital Food Safety System Committee to complete the following charges and report it findings at the 2022 CFP Meeting.

The Committee will be charge with:

  1. Identify best practices, existing guidance documents, and research that relate to the use of digital food safety management systems.
  2. Develop a guidance document for food establishments and regulatory authorities that establishes General Best Practice Guidelines for Digital Food Safety Management Systems.
  3. Determining appropriate methods of sharing the committee's work, including but not limited to a recommendation that a letter be sent to FDA requesting that the Food Code, Annex 4 (Management of Food Safety Practices - Achieving Active Managerial Control of Foodborne Illness Risk Factors), Annex 2 (References, Part 3-Supporting Documents) be amended by adding references to the new guidance document as well as any existing guidance documents that the committee recommends, and the posting of information on the CFP website.
  4. Reporting the committee's findings and recommendations to the 2022 Biennial Meeting of the Conference for Food Protection.
