About this document

FDA Guidance on Foreign Objects in Food by Jose Lopez is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document from the FDA provides guidance on foods adulterated with hard or sharp foreign objects. It outlines criteria for direct regulatory action based on the size of the object and the type of food. Objects between 7-25mm in ready-to-eat foods meet criteria for seizure. Larger or smaller objects, or those in foods requiring preparation, may still pose a health hazard depending on factors like the intended consumers. Specimen charges are provided for foods containing objects meeting the criteria.
