Title
Creation of a Digital Temperature Monitoring Equipment Committee
Issue you would like the Conference to consider
That a Digital Temperature Monitoring Equipment Committee be created of members from all constituencies of the CFP.
Public Health Significance
Digital Temperature Monitoring Equipment available to the foodservice industry today provide real-time information that support a preventative approach to managing food safety. By establishing industry supported best practices foodservice operators will be able to make better informed decisions and reduce unnecessary food waste due to temperature abuse.
Recommended Solution: The Conference recommends...
The creation of a Digital Temperature Monitoring Equipment Committee to complete all charges and report back findings at the 2022 CFP meeting.
The Committee will be charge with:
- Identify best practices, existing guidance documents, and research that relate to the use of digital temperature monitoring equipment.
- Develop a guidance document for food establishments and regulatory authorities that establishes General Best Practice Guidelines for Digital Temperature Monitoring Equipment.
- 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.
- Reporting the committee's findings and recommendations to the 2022 Biennial Meeting of the Conference for Food Protection.
