The purpose of this rule development is to clarify specific sanitation requirements that apply to facilities that utilize pasteurization and to those that do not utilize pasteurization. The proposed rule implements changes made to section 502.042, F.S., by removing the requirement that the Department conduct periodic shelf-life studies and periodic sampling of milk. The proposed rule sets out the shelf-life testing procedures and methods to be used by the Department for shelf-life testing when it verifies the shelf-life set by the producer or manufacturer. Additionally, the proposed rule removes an outdated reference to Rule 5D-10.001, Florida Administrative Code, and replaces it with the correct rule reference, Rule 5K-10.001, Florida Administrative Code. References to grade A milk are updated by capitalizing and adding quotation marks for proper terminology description of Grade “A”. The proposed rule also updates established guidelines for administering penalties for violations and institutes a more defined enforcement matrix for common issues found in the dairy industry.
