| Description of Subjects/Issues |
The purpose of this rule change is to incorporate by reference revisions to 21 C.F.R Part 112 Subpart E, published May 6, 2024, which replaces the previous version, published on March 18, 2019. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
In 2024, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) set out to revise Subpart E of 21 C.F.R. Part 112, “Standards for the Growing, Harvesting, Packing, and Holding of Produce for Human consumption.” FDA’s revisions replace annual water testing with a more current, water-systems-based assessment. The Department has incorporated this revised subpart to maintain its consistency with FDA’s safety and testing requirements related to how produce for human consumption is grown, harvested, packed, and held in Colorado. |
