Meet Food Bill Requirements with komida
If your business is small, you must now meet certain conditions to be treated as one.
The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act s.2751 defines new hazard analysis and risk-based preventative controls for food producers.
Intended for large food companies, the bill requires small producers to meet specific criteria to be exempt from the regulations.
If a business does not meet the small producer requirements, it is treated as a large producer, and the new bill requires each owner, operator, or agent in charge of a food facility to identify and implement preventive controls to significantly minimize or prevent hazards that could affect food manufactured, processed, packed, or held by such facility.
Do you qualify as a small producer? To meet s.2751 small producer requirements, a producer must:
- Sell 1/3 of their annual product directly to stores or consumers (not through distributors). These buyers must be located either in the home state of the producer, or within 275 miles of their facility.
- or, limit product sales to $500k annually.
