The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for FDA staff entitled “Compliance Policy Guide Crabmeat—Fresh and Frozen—Adulteration with Filth, Involving the Presence of Escherichia coli.” The draft Compliance Policy Guide (CPG), when finalized, will update the previously issued “CPG Crabmeat—Fresh and Frozen—Adulteration with Filth, Involving the Presence of the Organism Escherichia coli.” This revised draft provides guidance for FDA staff on the level of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in crabmeat at which we may consider the crabmeat to be adulterated with filth.
Although you can comment on any guidance at any time (see 21 CFR 10.115(g)(5)), to ensure that FDA considers your comment on this draft CPG before it begins work on the final version of the CPG, submit either electronic or written comments on the draft CPG by February 17, 2015.
