The Food and Drug Administration on Friday released the first two proposals to implement elements of the Food Safety Modernization Act. The proposals for the Hazard Analysis and Preventive Controls standard and the Produce Safety standard are the first to be released and FDA officials outlined the proposals in a conference call on Friday. On the call they did announce that the preventive control regulation contains an exemption for facilities that only distribute product that is not exposed to the environment though clarified that it would not apply to produce contained in cartons with airholes. The proposals are available on IFDA's Regulatory Watch. Please note that the regulations in pre-publication form are exceedingly long but will be published in the Federal Register on January 16 in a more compact format. Comments are due May 16 and IFDA will be filing on behalf of the industry.

The National Council of Chain Restaurants recently released a study from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) examining the effects of the use of corn based ethanol on the chain restaurant industry. The report, entitled "Federal Ethanol Policies and Chain Restaurant Food Costs," details the impact of the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The use of corn in ethanol production has side effects in both corn and other agricultural markets. Increasing the demand for corn for fuel results in increasing the costs of other uses such as livestock feed and baked goods. The study concludes that the RFS mandate, which requires an ever-increasing volume of ethanol fuel from corn to be blended into gasoline each year, greatly increases the food input costs of chain restaurant operators. PwC estimated that by 2015, the RFS mandate will increase total costs for chain restaurants owners by up to $3.2 billion per year for every year the RFS remains in effect.
