The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, we, or the Agency) is extending the comment period for two chapters of a multichapter draft guidance entitled “Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food: Draft Guidance for Industry,” which were announced in the Federal Register of September 27, 2023. The relevant draft chapters are entitled “Chapter 11– Food Allergen Program” and “Chapter 16–Acidified Foods.” We are taking this action in response to a request for an extension to allow interested persons additional time to submit comments before FDA begins work on the final guidance.
