SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On October 2, 1997, the President

announced the ‘‘Initiative to Ensure the

Safety of Imported and Domestic Fruits

and Vegetables’’ (fresh produce safety

initiative). As part of the fresh produce

safety initiative, the President directed

the Secretary of Health and Human

Services (DHHS) and the Secretary of

the U.S. Department of Agriculture

(USDA), in cooperation with the

agricultural community, to issue, within

1 year, guidance on good agricultural

practices and good manufacturing

practices for fresh fruits and vegetables.

FDA is coordinating the effort for

DHHS.

As part of this effort, FDA and USDA

held a series of public meetings between

November 17, 1997, and December 12,

1997, to provide the details on a broad

approach on how to minimize microbial

contamination through the control of

water, manure, worker health and

hygiene, field and facility sanitation,

and transportation. A draft guide

entitled ‘‘Working Draft: Guide to

Minimize Microbial Food Safety

Hazards for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables’’

was made available on FDA’s World

Wide Web (WWW) home page (http://

www.fda.gov) and at each public

meeting. Transcripts of these meetings

and all comments received on the

working draft of the proposed guide are

on file in the Dockets Management

Branch (address above) under the

docket number found in brackets in the

heading of this document and are

accessible via the FDA home page on

the WWW (http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/

dockets/default.htm).

In the Federal Register of April 13,

1998 (63 FR 18029), FDA published a

notice of availability of the proposed

guide that responded to comments

received on the working draft of the

guide. The revised draft entitled

‘‘Guidance for Industry: Guide to

Minimize Microbial Food Safety

Hazards for Fresh Fruits and

Vegetables’’ is available on the FDA

home page on the WWW (http://

www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/

default.htm).

The public meetings will include an

overview of the President’s fresh

produce safety initiative and a review of

the proposed guide. The meetings are

intended to obtain comment on the

specific recommendations made in the
