Adoption of Reuse in Federal and State Food Code Guidance
November 4th | 1:00 - 2:30 PM ET | Free Webinar |
Have you ever asked yourself while at a restaurant: Can I refill my own drink or food container? Can a restaurant refill a container? Can a third-party organization handle the washing of a refillable container? We will answer these questions and more, as speakers discuss the permissivity of reusable containers in foodservice as noted in federal and state level food codes. Learn about the new U.S. Food and Drug Administration's federal food code supplemental guidance addressing reuse and why it is critical that all states adopt it. |
