Title

PAC 3–Approval of Checklist for Retail Establishment Challenge Study

Issue you would like the Conference to consider

Acceptance of the Product Assessment Committee's checklist entitled "Checklist for Retail Establishment Challenge Study" and inclusion of the checklist on the CFP website in a down-loadable PDF format.

Public Health Significance

Using the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF) protocol can be difficult for both operators and regulators to understand. This leads to challenges for regulatory authorities, to provide approval for challenge studies, and retail food establishments, to know how to move forward with completing a challenge study. Providing this checklist of appropriate criteria for operators and regulators to consider when reviewing a challenge study, and directions for using it, will help to ease the burden for operators and regulators.

Recommended Solution: The Conference recommends...

The Conference recommends....

  1. Acceptance of the Checklist for Retail Establishment Challenge Study (attached as a content document to Issue titled: Report - Product Assessment Committee).
  2. Authorizing the Conference to make any necessary edits prior to posting the document on the CFP web site to assure consistency of format and non-technical content; edits will not affect the technical content of the document.
  3. Posting the final document on the CFP website in PDF and editable Word format
