BACKGROUND Approached by tomato industry during tomato safety forum November, 2006 Industry concern: potential patchwork of state/local laws and regulations

Association of Food and Drug Officials AFDO Mission: to foster uniformity in the adoption of food safety laws, rules and regulations

AFDO BOARD CONSIDERATIONS General recognition that size/scope of FBIs associated w/ fresh produce are unacceptable Other commodities implicated in outbreaks Existing guidance dated No regulations at farm and packing houses Experience in developing Model Codes

WHY Model Code? Framework for national consistency in regulatory approach Wider acceptance as a more collaborative work product Broader implementation especially at medium/smaller farms/packing houses

WHY AFDO Model Code? Quicker than federal rule making More easily modified Open inclusive process Iterative, ongoing process – opportunity for periodic “ground truthing” As model code, provides mechanism for states/local authorities to address specific issues unique to that locale

WHO is Participating? States: FL (Aller as Chair), VA, CA, NC Federal: FDA, USDA Association of Fruit and Vegetable Inspection Standardization Agencies Academia CSPI, Consumer Federation of America

WHO is Participating? Industry: Western Growers Association, United Fresh Produce Association, Produce Marketers Association, GMA/FPA, National Restaurant Association, Florida Tomato Industry, Ag&Food Trans. Conf, of Am Trucking Assoc., Food Marketing Institute various commodity associations, others
