Frequently asked questions

Is the FDA Food Code mandatory?

The FDA Food Code is a model code. States and localities adopt it (often with modifications) into their own regulations, making it effectively mandatory through local health codes.

How does this differ from HACCP?

The FDA Food Code is broader — it covers employee health, facility standards, and operational procedures. HACCP focuses specifically on critical control points in food processing.
