Короткий зміст

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of the ``Food Code: 1993 Recommendations of the United States Public Health Service/Food and Drug Administration'' (the 1993 Food Code). The 1993 Food Code consists of model requirements for regulating the retail segment of the food industry to safeguard public health and to ensure that the food is not adulterated and is honestly presented when offered to the consumer. The 1993 Food Code updates, combines, and replaces three separate preceding models: The 1976 Food Service Sanitation Code; the 1978 Food and Beverage Vending Code; and the 1982 Retail Food Store Sanitation Code. It covers management and personnel; food; equipment, utensils, and linens; water, plumbing, and waste; physical facilities; poisonous or toxic materials; and compliance and enforcement. This project was initiated at the recommendation of the Conference for Food Protection (the Conference).
