Preventive Controls Rule

The Preventive Controls Rule, part of food safety regulation, requires food manufacturers to put in place procedures and safeguards to identify and prevent potential hazards in their production processes. This includes developing a food safety plan, monitoring critical points, and maintaining accurate records. The goal is to reduce the risk of food contamination or safety issues before they happen, ensuring that the food reaching consumers is safe to eat. Essentially, it's a proactive approach to managing food safety, focusing on prevention rather than just addressing problems after they occur.
