Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP); Procedures for the Safe and Sanitary Processing and Importing of Juice
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to adopt regulations to ensure the safe and sanitary processing of fruit and vegetable juices and juice products. The proposed regulation, if adopted, will mandate the application of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles to the processing of these foods. HACCP is a preventive system of hazard control. FDA is proposing these regulations because there have been a number of outbreaks of illness, including some directly affecting children, associated with juice products and because a system of preventive control measures is the most effective and efficient way to ensure that these products will be safe. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is publishing a warning label proposal for packaged juice.
