Understanding the Impact, Opportunities, and Limitations of 2022 US Food Code

The 2022 edition of the FDA Food Code was released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December, and it brought significant changes that offer opportunities for the food-allergic community. These changes include: ✓ Addition of sesame as a major food allergen, reflecting the FASTER Act of 2021 that named it the 9th major food allergen. ✓ Mandatory identification of major food allergens on the labeling of "unpackaged" food served at restaurants, cafeterias, stadiums, and catered functions. ✓ Requirement for bulk foods available for consumer self-dispensing to be labeled for the top nine allergens. Join me for a special episode of #EatingAtAMeeting LIVE, where Jen Jobrack, Founder and principal of Food Allergy Pros, and I will discuss the impact, opportunities, and limitations of the Code for diners and food service companies. #FoodCode #FAAW2023 #FoodAllergies #Catering #FoodService #FoodSafety #FoodInclusion Connect with Tracy: facebook.com/groups/EatingataMeeting thrivemeetings.com
