6 Co-Sponsors

Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill, as amended by Senate Amendment No. 1, with the following changes. Replaces the definition of "time-and-temperature controlled for safety food" with a definition for "time/temperature control for safety food", which means a food that is stored under time or temperature control for food safety according to the Department of Public Health's administrative rules. Makes conforming changes. Replaces instances of non-potentially hazardous with not a time/temperature control for safety food. Provides that time/temperature control for safety food shall be maintained and transported at holding temperatures as set in the Department's administrative rules to ensure the food's safety and limit microorganism growth or toxin formation. Removes language providing that, if a food operation product assessment shows that a food has a pH of 4.6 or less or a water activity of less than or equal to 0.92, then the food shall not require temperature control.
