FDA Proposes to Allow the Use of Alternative Temperature-Indicating Devices for Processing Low-Acid Canned Foods
If finalized, the proposed rule would amend FDA's current regulations for the processing of low-acid canned foods such as beans, corn, peas, and potatoes, and clarify such requirements as recordkeeping and the rules for measuring and recording temperatures during processing. The proposal also includes metric equivalents of avoirdupois (U.S.) measurements.
