Alcoholic beverages • An alcoholic beverage is a “food” as described in 21 CFR

Alcoholic beverages • An alcoholic beverage is a “food” as described in 21 CFR 1. 227, which states in part, “Examples of food include: . . . beverages (including alcoholic beverages and bottled water)”. • A facility such as a winery that manufactures alcoholic beverages would have to register with FDA as a food facility (see 21 CFR Part 1, subpart H), unless it satisfies any of the criteria for entities that are not required to register (see 21 CFR 1. 226). 11

Alcoholic beverages • The CGMP & PC rule contains a partial exemption for certain

Alcoholic beverages • The CGMP & PC rule contains a partial exemption for certain food and alcohol at certain alcohol-related facilities (21 CFR 117. 5(i)). • The following two conditions must be met for alcoholic beverages at a facility to be exempt from subparts C and G of the rule (21 CFR 117. 5(i)(1)): – (i) Under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (27 U. S. C. 201 et seq. ) or chapter 51 of subtitle E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U. S. C. 5001 et seq. ) the facility is required to obtain a permit from, register with, or obtain approval of a notice or application from the Secretary of the Treasury as a condition of doing business in the United States, or is a foreign facility of a type that would require such a permit, registration, or approval if it were a domestic facility; and – (ii) Under section 415 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act the facility is required to register as a facility because it is engaged in manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding one or more alcoholic 12 beverages.

Alcoholic beverages • 21 CFR 117. 5(i)(2). • Subparts C and G do not apply to food that is not an alcoholic beverage at a facility described in 117. 5(i)(1), provided that: – Is in prepackaged form that prevents any direct human contact with such food; and – Constitutes not more than 5 percent of the overall sales of the facility, as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury 13

Examples of requirements that are not applicable if an alcoholic beverage facility is subject

Examples of requirements that are not applicable if an alcoholic beverage facility is subject to the exemption: • Any requirements for Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) for a winery? – A PCQI is only required when a facility must develop and implement a food safety plan. – If a facility is exempt from the requirements of Subparts C and G, such a facility would not need a PCQI. • Any requirements to comply with allergen control, sanitation control, and recall provisions under 21 CFR 117 for a winery? – Exemption of alcoholic beverage from subparts C and G is described in 117. 5(i)(1). – This exemption would apply to food allergen controls, sanitation controls, and the recall plan requirements of 21 CFR 117. 135. 14

Alcoholic beverages • Note that the exemption from 21 CFR 117. 5(i) is not from all subparts of the rule (21 CFR part 117). • The current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements of 21 CFR part 117, subpart B, as well as the CGMP-related requirements of subpart A and the CGMPrelated records requirements of subpart F apply to alcoholic beverage facilities, such as wineries, that manufacture beverages for human consumption. • An alcoholic beverage facility, such as a winery, must ensure that its alcoholic beverage products are not adulterated under section 402 of the FD&C Act or misbranded under section 403 of the FD&C Act. 15

CGMP requirements • The CGMP requirements in 21 CFR part 117 (mostly in subpart B) generally align with the requirements of 21 CFR part 110, with the non-binding provisions in 21 CFR part 110 removed or made binding. • In addition, 21 CFR 117 subpart B addresses allergen cross-contact explicitly in the regulatory text. • Furthermore, training, which was recommended in 21 CFR part 110, is now mandated in 21 CFR 117 subpart A (associated record requirements are in subpart F). 16

CGMP training requirements • Each individual engaged in manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding food,

CGMP training requirements • Each individual engaged in manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding food, including temporary and seasonal personnel (e. g. , contract laborers), must: – be a “qualified individual” (i. e. , have the education, training, experience, or a combination thereof, necessary to manufacture, process, pack, or hold clean and safe food as appropriate to the individual’s assigned duties [see 21 CFR 117. 4(b)(1)], and – Receive training in the principles of food hygiene and food safety, including the importance of employee health and personal hygiene, as appropriate to the food, the facility and the individual’s assigned duties [see 21 CFR 117. 4(b)(2)]. • Supervisory personnel must have the education, training, or experience (or a combination thereof) necessary to supervise the production of clean and safe food [see 21 CFR 117. 4(c)]. • Records that document training required by 21 CFR 117. 4(b)(2) must be established and maintained and are subject to subpart F of the CGMP & PC rule [see 21 CFR 117. 4(d)]. 17

CGMP & PC FAQ • Question: What does this final rule specifically require human

CGMP & PC FAQ • Question: What does this final rule specifically require human food facilities to do when providing a by-product for use as animal food? • Answer: Processors already implementing human food safety requirements, such as brewers, would not need to implement additional preventive controls or Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations when supplying a by-product (e. g. , wet spent grains, fruit or vegetable peels, liquid whey) for animal food, except to prevent physical and chemical contamination when holding and distributing the by-product. This regulation applies to human food facilities that both donate or sell a by-product for use in animal food. Labeling that identifies the by-product by the common or usual name must be affixed to or accompany human food byproducts for use as animal food when distributed. https: //www. fda. gov/Food/Guidance. Regulation/FSMA/ucm 247559. htm#PC_Rules (PC 19) 18

 • Answer continued: Further processing a by-product for use as animal food (e.

• Answer continued: Further processing a by-product for use as animal food (e. g. , drying, pelleting, heat-treatment) would require compliance with CGMPs to ensure the animal food’s safety and to make sure that the processing does not introduce hazards to the animal food. The company can choose to follow either the human food or animal food CGMPs when further processing the byproduct. In addition, unless they are a qualified facility or otherwise exempt from subpart C (hazard analysis and preventive controls) the facility would need to assess its processing and determine whethere any hazards that would require a preventive control. A facility that appropriately determines through its hazard analysis that there are no hazards requiring a preventive control would document such a determination in its hazard analysis but would not need to establish preventive controls. https: //www. fda. gov/Food/Guidance.
