Food service rules — Consideration of federal food code.

The state board shall consider the most recent version of the United States food and drug administration's food code for the purpose of adopting rules for food service.

[2003 c 65 § 2.]

Notes: Intent -- 2003 c 65: "The United States food and drug administration's food code incorporates the most recent food science and technology. The code is regularly updated in consultation with the states, the scientific community, and the food service industry. The food and drug administration's food code provides consistency for food service regulations, and it serves as a model for many states' food service rules. It is the legislature's intent that the state board of health use the United States food and drug administration's food code as guidance when developing food service rules for this state."
