Interpretive Summary: The Acidified Foods GMP Manual was written to be used in a short course for food processors who must have employees who have successfully completed the course and are, thereby, certified to oversee the processing of acidified foods. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration requires that manufacturers of acidified foods have a responsible individual(s) on duty to supervise the manufacture of such foods intended for interstate commerce. The manual addresses FDA regulatory issues and covers the critical issues involved in the safe manufacture of acidified foods, including microbiology, chemistry, sanitation, containers and closures, process filing requirements, and record keeping. This is the second edition of the manual, which as been considerably revised from the first edition published in 1979.
