WASHINGTON — USDA's Food Safety & Inspection Service is extending the comment period 30 days for the Federal Register notice that clarifies requirements for Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point validation and for the guidance document to assist establishments in meeting the validation requirements.
The original deadline to submit comments on both documents was July 9; the new deadline to receive comments is now Aug. 9. FSIS is extending the comment period in response to a request from an industry association that stated small businesses with multiple HACCP processing categories need additional time to evaluate the draft guidance document.
