Public Availability of Lists of Retail Consignees To Effectuate Certain Human and Animal Food Recalls; Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Availability

概要

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, we, or Agency) is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry and FDA staff entitled "Public Availability of Lists of Retail Consignees to Effectuate Certain Human and Animal Food Recalls; Guidance for Industry and FDA staff." The guidance for industry and FDA staff describes how and when FDA intends to collect, compile, and publicize lists of retail consignees that may have received recalled foods. While FDA intends to focus on recalls where there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the food will cause serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals (Class I recalls), FDA may also publicize retail consignee lists for other food recalls as described in the guidance. FDA's goal is to publicize retail consignee lists for these food recalls where providing this additional information will be of the most use to consumers to help them identify recalled food and to determine whether that food is in their possession as effectively and quickly as possible.
