Abstract: This information collection supports implementation of FDA’s Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards (the Retail Program Standards), which play a critical role in an integrated food safety system. FDA works cooperatively with state, local, territorial and tribal partners using a risk-based approach to leverage its limited resources to help ensure the safety and security of the food supply at the retail level. Respondents to the collections of information are regulatory food officials working in this capacity.
