FDA offers new resource page for food producers hit by flooding and severe weather

(FDA)

The FDA has released a new online resource page for human and animal food producers affected by flooding and severe weather incidents such as hurricanes or tropical storms.

This new page, available on the FDA website,  will help food producers identify some of the federal and state resources available to those who may be harvesting, mixing, storing, or distributing grains and other foods after experiencing a severe weather incident, according to a news release.

This resource page also includes state contact information for the FDA’s Office of Regulatory Affairs  Emergency Response Coordinators and a list of FDA resources to help industry evaluate the safety of flood affected food crops for human consumption and information on reconditioning adulterated crops into animal food, the release said.
