摘要

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Guidance for Industry: Guide to Minimize Microbial Food Safety Hazards of Fresh-Cut Fruits and Vegetables" (the draft fresh-cut guidance). This document complements FDA's current good manufacturing practices (CGMP) regulations by providing specific guidance on the processing of fresh- cut produce. The draft fresh-cut guidance and the CGMP regulations are intended to assist processors in minimizing microbial food safety hazards common to the processing of most fresh-cut fruits and vegetables sold to consumers in a ready-to-eat form.
