REASONS FOR REGISTRATION AND PROCESS FILING REQUIREMENTS

Improperly processed low-acid canned foods or acidified foods present life-threatening hazards; therefore registration of those establishments which manufacture, process, or pack low-acid canned foods or acidified foods and filing of the processes they use are necessary to identify processors and to monitor compliance with the regulations, to provide for immediate application of emergency permit control should a potential public health hazard be identified.

 

PROCESS FILING FORMS ARE TECHNICALLY EDITED FOR COMPLETENESS PRIOR TO COMPUTER ENTRY. FDA DOES NOT CONSIDER A FORM TO BE FILED UNTIL IT HAS BEEN TECHNICALLY EDITED. FORMS ARE RETURNED TO THE FIRMS WHEN THE INFORMATION IS EITHER INCOMPLETE OR POSSIBLY INACCURATE.

 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DOES FILING OF THE INFORMATION CONSTITUTE FDA APPROVAL OF THE PROCESS AUTHORITY, THE PROCESS, OR ITS ADEQUACY. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PROCESSOR TO ASCERTAIN THE ADEQUACY OF ANY PROCESS BEFORE USING IT.
