The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published three waivers to the now final Sanitary Transportation rule mandated by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
The waivers are for businesses whose transportation operations are subject to separate State-Federal controls. They include:
-
Businesses holding valid permits that are inspected under the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments’ Grade “A” Milk Safety Program, only when transporting Grade “A” milk and milk products.
- Food establishments authorized by the regulatory authority to operate when engaged as receivers, or as shippers and carriers in operations in which food is delivered directly to consumers, or to other locations the establishments or affiliates operate that serve or sell food directly to consumers. (Examples include restaurants, supermarkets and home grocery delivery services.)
