Résumé

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft compliance policy guide (CPG) entitled "Guidance Levels for Radionuclides in Domestic and Imported Foods." The draft CPG would rescind and replace the current CPG Sec. 560.750 Radionuclides in Imported Foods--Levels of Concern (CPG 7119.14). The draft CPG provides updated guidance levels for radionuclide activity concentration in food offered for import and makes these same guidance levels for radionuclide activity concentration applicable to food in domestic interstate commerce for the first time. The draft CPG also expands the scope of coverage of FDA policy from food accidentally contaminated with radionuclides to food accidentally or intentionally contaminated with radionuclides. The agency is also announcing the availability of a draft supporting document entitled "Supporting Document for Guidance Levels for Radionuclides in Domestic and Imported Foods."
