June 19, 2008 Food Warnings Workgroup Meeting Materials

Charge to the Workgroup:

Develop a draft regulatory proposal (language only) that will provide specific “safe harbor” warning language and delivery method options for providing warnings for exposures to listed chemicals in foods, that can be jointly implemented by food manufacturers and retailers, in order to provide a clear
an d reasonable warning to consumers.

The regulation should be limited to exposures to listed chemicals in foods (not other consumer  products) and should take into account the special public health issues related to providing warnings for food product exposures.

This is not a workgroup on whether or not a warning should be required for any particular chemical exposure from any particular food.
