Resumen

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for FDA staff entitled "Compliance Policy Guide Crabmeat--Fresh and Frozen--Adulteration with Filth, Involving the Presence of Escherichia coli." The draft Compliance Policy Guide (CPG), when finalized, will update the previously issued "CPG Crabmeat--Fresh and Frozen--Adulteration with Filth, Involving the Presence of the Organism Escherichia coli." This revised draft provides guidance for FDA staff on the level of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in crabmeat at which we may consider the crabmeat to be adulterated with filth.
