Since the initial publication of “Appendix 1”, many food industry groups, including ASTA, advocated for FDA to update the guidance to make corrections, reflect the latest scientific evidence, and minimize confusion and inconsistencies.

The “Appendix 1” guidance has significant implications for FDA food facility inspections, as it is used as a key reference by inspectors.
