FDA issued revised food safety standards for state regulatory programs that oversee food facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods. These regulatory program standards, known as the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS), were first issued by the agency in May 2007. The 2016 updates include newly defined terms, new sections and appendices, as well as updates to the current standards.

MFRPS’ are an important component in establishing the national Integrated Food Safety System. The goal of the MFRPS is to implement a nationally integrated, risk-based, food safety system focused on protecting public health. The MFRPS establish a uniform basis for measuring and improving the performance of prevention, intervention, and response activities of manufactured food regulatory programs in the United States. The program standards are designed to help federal and state agencies better direct their regulatory activities toward reducing foodborne illness hazards in plants that manufacture, process, pack or hold foods.

The regulatory program standards are comprised of ten standards designed to protect the public from foodborne illness and injury. These elements include the program’s regulatory foundation, staff training, inspection, quality assurance, food defense preparedness and response, foodborne illness and incident investigation, enforcement, education and outreach, resource management, laboratory resources, and program assessment.
