TO DO

BIO NOTE FOR HUFFINGTON POST

I set out to write my first blog for the Huffington Post.
The outtakes could be other blogs.

One could be on vetting the FDA.

Look over other version


9:59 pm
Got an email that said the OTA is supportive
of this Bill.

That surprises me.

HOW ABOUT THIS OTA?



Under section 103(c) of the manager’s package, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) would be authorized to issue regulations “with respect to activities that constitute on-farm manufacturing or processing of food that is not consumed either on that farm or another farm under common ownership” for purposes of Section 415 of the FDCA [21 USC 350d—“Registration of Food Facilities]. In other words, any farm that manufactures or processes food would be regarded as a “food facility” and subject to the HARPC requirement unless the current definition of “manufacture/process” is changed.

Such farms would also be subject the inspection requirements contained in section 201(a)-Section 421 of the bill [p. 90]. Under section 103(c)(1)(D)(i), the HHS Secretary would have the discretion to exempt a farm from the HARPC and inspection requirements if the farm is only involved in manufacturing/processing low-risk foods. It is the Secretary who determines what foods are low-risk, meaning there is no mandate under the bill for the Secretary to exempt any food from the HARPC and/or inspection requirements.
