SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a draft guidance for industry entitled
‘‘Guidance for Industry: Measures to
Address the Risk for Contamination by
Salmonella Species in Food Containing
a Pistachio-Derived Product as an
Ingredient.’’ This draft guidance is
intended to clarify for manufacturers
who produce foods containing a
pistachio-derived product as an
ingredient that there is a risk that
Salmonella species (spp.) may be
present in the incoming pistachioderived product, and to recommend
measures to address that risk. Pistachioderived products include roasted inshell pistachios and shelled pistachios
(also called kernels) that are roasted or
raw.
We are issuing this guidance in light
of a recent investigation by FDA and the
California Department of Public Health
of Salmonella spp. contamination in
pistachio-derived products (Ref. 1). The
producer issued a voluntary recall
involving a substantial quantity of its
products. Because the recalled
pistachio-derived products were used as
ingredients in a variety of foods, this
recall affected many products and
resulted in additional recalls (Ref. 1).
FDA is issuing this draft guidance as
level 1 guidance consistent with FDA’s
good guidance practices regulation (21
CFR 10.115). The draft guidance
represents the agency’s current thinking
on measures to address the risk for
contamination by Salmonella spp. in
food containing a pistachio-derived
product as an ingredient. It does not
create or confer any rights for or on any
person and does not operate to bind
FDA or the public. An alternate
approach may be used if such approach
satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.
II. Comments
Interested persons may submit to the
Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) written or electronic
