Issue History

This is a brand new Issue.

Title

Condition Control Food

Issue you would like the Conference to consider

The term "Condition Control Food" or "CCF" to be used as an equivalent or replacement term for describing "Time/temperature control for safety food" or "TCS."

Public Health Significance

Improved communications.

Communicating the importance and differences between CCF and non-CCF is improved based on anecdotal field reports in Montana. Our agency believes these reports could be duplicated on a larger scale if the term is adopted. CCF represents the many conditions needed to ensure safe food by controlling pH level to water activity, cold-hold storage and any other relevant condition required to produce safe food.

Recommended Solution: The Conference recommends...

The Conference recommends a letter be sent to FDA requesting that the term "Condition Control Food" or "CCF" to be used as an equivalent or replacement term for describing "Time/temperature control for safety food" or "TCS."
