Issue Number: Council I 015
Issue History
This issue was submitted for consideration at a previous biennial meeting, see issue: 2014 I-003 ; new or additional information has been included or attached .
Title
Re-create the Plan Review Committee (PRC)
Issue you would like the Conference to consider
The PRC was not re-created following the 2016 CFP Biennial meeting. Since this time, many trends have gained popularity in the food service industry, including shared kitchens, multi-concept ghost kitchens, etc. In addition, two new FDA Food Codes have been published since 2016. No updates to the four guidance documents produced by the PRC have been made during this time. The Conference should recreate the PRC to review and revise, if needed, all previously published PRC guidance documents available on the CFP website in light of the 2022 Food Code and popular industry practices.
Public Health Significance
The PRC's work has historically provided recommendations to promote public health and prevent environmental health related illnesses through proper planning of food establishment construction. Previous guidance documents provided by this committee may be out of compliance with the current FDA Food Code and may fail to address recent trends and practices within the food service industry.
Recommended Solution: The Conference recommends...
The PRC be recreated following the 2023 CFP Biennial meeting with the following charges:
1) Review and revise the following documents as needed to address changes in the latest version of the FDA Food Code, as well as latest and popular industry trends.
a) Plan Review for Food Establishments 2016
b) Recommended Guidance for Permanent Outdoor Cooking at Permanent Food Establishment 2014
c) Recommended Guidance for Mobile Food Establishments 2014
d) Temporary Food Establishments 2011
2) Determine if there are other guidance documents that should be developed to address newer technologies and begin the process of developing these resources.
3) Report back to the next biennial meeting of the Conference for Food Protection
