Plans made here are drafts. Your local regulatory authority has to review them, and approve them where the Food Code says so, before you rely on them.
Is this legal advice?
No. What's on this site and in the exported files is general information based on the U.S. FDA Food Code 2022, which is a model code. Your state, county or city may use a different edition or add rules, and only your regulator can tell you what applies.
Does the builder validate my process?
No. Reduced oxygen packaging, sous vide, cook-chill, curing, smoking for preservation, acidified rice and dry aging can need a variance and scientific validation from a process authority. We don't provide that, and we don't invent limits the Food Code doesn't give. Where a number is missing, the plan tells you to get it.
Who is responsible for the food?
You are. Using this site doesn't make us your consultant.
