Title
Amend Food Code 1-201.10 replace Fruits and Vegetables with term Plant Food
Issue you would like the Conference to consider
In the Supplement to the 2017 Food Code, section (2)(c) of the definition of ready-to-eat foods should be updated to strike the phrase "Fruits and vegetables" and replaced with "Plant foods".
Public Health Significance
Currently, section (2)(c) of the definition of ready-to-eat foods and 3-401.13 do not use consistent terminology. The term "fruits and vegetables" was replaced with "plant foods" in section 3-401.13. Therefore, for continuity, the same change should be made in section (2)(c) of the definition of ready-to-eat foods.
Recommended Solution: The Conference recommends...
that a letter be sent to the FDA requesting that Section 1-201.10 Statement of Application and Listing of Terms of the Supplement to the 2017 Food Code be amended as follows (language to be removed is stricken and new language is underlined):
(2) "Ready-to-eat food" includes:
(a) Raw animal FOOD that is cooked as specified under § 3-401.11 or 3-401.12, or frozen as specified under § 3-402.11;
(b) Raw fruits and vegetables that are washed as specified under § 3-302.15;
(c) Fruits and vegetables Plant foods that are cooked for hot holding, as specified under § 3-401.13;
(d) All TIME/TEMPERATURE CONTROL FOR SAFETY FOOD that is cooked to the temperature and time required for the specific FOOD under Subpart 3-401 and cooled as specified under § 3-501.14;
