March 2016 FSMA Rule Release: Sanitary Transport of Food and Feed
On March 31, 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will release the Sanitary Transport of Food and Feed (STF) rule – outlined in Title 1, section 111 of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
This final rule would require those who transport food to use pre-approved sanitary transportation practices to ensure the safety of food.
The final rule, which is required by FSMA, would help maintain the safety of both human and animal food during transportation by establishing criteria such as: temperature controls, conditions and practices, training and record keeping. More information will be provided as the release date draws near.
