“The Food Code is an important part of the strategy for achieving uniform national food safety standards and for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of our nation’s food safety system. This Supplement, which updates the 2005 Food Code, reflects the current science, emerging food safety issues, and imminent health hazards related to food safety. A Summary of Changes is included in Part 1 of the Supplement to assist in quick identification of the changes. The next complete revision of the Food Code will be published in 2009. The Supplement provides the most current food safety provisions to agencies planning to initiate rule-making activities before 2009. In addition, this Supplement gives other users of the Food Code — educators, trainers, and the food service, retail food, and vending industries — up-to-date information on mitigating risk factors that can contribute to foodborne illnesses.”
