    PrintThis rule is part of FDA's implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which intends to better protect public health by, among other things, adopting a modern, preventive, and risk-based approach to food safety regulation. This rule creates certain new requirements for the production of human food by registered food facilities, and revises previous requirements, in three key ways.First, this rule creates new requirements for certain domestic and foreign facilities to establish and implement hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls for human food. In general, these requirements apply to establishments that are required to register with FDA as a food “facility.” This portion of the rule requires registered food facilities to maintain a food safety plan, perform a hazard analysis, and institute preventive controls for the mitigation of those hazards, unless an exemption applies. Facilities must also monitor their controls, conduct verification activities to ensure the controls are effective, take appropriate corrective actions, and maintain records documenting these actions.Second, this rule modernizes FDA's long-standing current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations regarding the manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding of human food. We have updated, revised, and otherwise clarified certain requirements within the CGMP regulations, which were last updated in 1986.Third, this rule clarifies the scope of the exemption for “farms” in FDA's current food facility registration regulations and makes corresponding revisions to FDA's current regulations for the establishment, maintenance, and availability of records. These revisions affect who is subject to the existing regulations for registration and recordkeeping, as well as the new requirements for hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls requirements established here.Regulatory Impact AnalysisFSMA Final Rulemaking for Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food (PDF - 1.74MB)Federal Register: 80 FR 55907, September 17, 2015Docket: FDA-2011-N-0920
