2001 Food Code Available
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on December 10, 2001 in the Federal Register the availability of
the 2001 revision of the Food Code. The revision was initiated in cooperation with the Conference for Food Protection to
help ensure that food sold or offered for human consumption by retail food establishments is safe, unadulterated, and
honestly presented.
A few of the significant changes between the 2001 Food Code and the 1999 Food Code include:
- A revised definition of juice, information on juice treated to control pathogens, and information that addresses
issues relating to juice provided to populations that are particularly vulnerable to foodborne illness;
- A revised definition of "highly susceptible populations" and new definitions relating to employee health including
"exclusion" and "restriction";
- New provisions for the refrigeration and labeling of eggs consistent with new requirements in the Code of Regulations
(CFR)
Written requests for single copies of the 2001 Food Code may be sent to:
