Senior Director for Food Consulting Services, Allen Sayler, published an article in Dairy Foods Magazine on FDA’s PMO (Produce Milk Ordinance) new Appendix T, which mirrors FSMA in many ways in that it requires preventive controls for those hazards not already covered in the PMO. This new requirement may well be the dairy industry’s most significant new regulatory challenge for 2019. “One of the major challenges many firms face is the establishment of acceptable written food safety programs and maintenance of required records that demonstrate compliance with Appendix T. The failure of a Grade “A” dairy plant to meet any of these requirements will result in either loss of its Grade “A” designation or a request for the state to remove its Grade “A” designation.”
