	Human Food Preventive Controls Fact Sheet (Version November 2023)What is the Preventive Controls Program Expansion?

The intended outcome of this program expansion to RFA-FD-18-001 “Flexible Funding Model – Infrastructure Development and Maintenance for State Manufactured Food Regulatory Programs” is to advance the efforts for a nationally Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS) by assisting State manufactured food regulatory programs to promote compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-based Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation (PCHF Rule). PCHF is intended to ensure safe manufacturing/processing, packing and holding of food products for human consumption in the United States.  This program expansion provides funding to incorporate PCHF activities into the existing human food safety framework being implemented by the grantees under RFA-FD-18-001.

What are its goals?

The goals of this funding opportunity are as follows:

Awardees will participate in IT-data exchange development/implementation with FDA to enable necessary information exchange between FDA and state/territory.
	Utilize best practices for enhanced coordination between FDA and state/territory for information sharing coordination and leveraging of resources for regulatory work conducted under the authority of the PCHF rule, or equivalent state/territorial regulatory authorities.
	If IT-data exchange capabilities and information sharing coordination have already been implemented, funds can be used to train auditors or new staff to perform full scope Preventive Controls (PC) inspections.Who are the current awardees?
