[Federal Register Volume 78, Number 136 (Tuesday, July 16, 2013)] [Notices] [Page 42526] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2013-16973] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. FDA-2013-D-0254] Salmonella Contamination of Dry Dog Food; Withdrawal of Compliance Policy Guide AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice; Withdrawal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the withdrawal of the compliance policy guide (CPG) entitled ``Sec. 690.700 Salmonella Contamination of Dry Dog Food.'' This CPG is obsolete. DATES: The withdrawal is effective July 16, 2013. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Diane D. Jeang, Office of Regulatory Affairs, Food and Drug Administration, 12420 Parklawn Dr., Rockville, MD 20857, 301-796-3890. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA issued the CGP entitled ``Sec. 690.700 Salmonella Contamination of Dry Dog Food (CPG 690.700)'' on October 1, 1980. CPG 690.700 was issued as a result of a human case of salmonellosis traced to dry dog food; a subsequent FDA-conducted survey of dry dog food; a risk analysis; and the development of an appropriate sampling technique to test dry dog food for salmonella organisms. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is announcing the availability of a new CPG to address all food for animals that may contain salmonella organisms, including dry dog food. This new CPG, entitled ``Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 690.800 Salmonella in Food for Animals,'' supersedes CPG 690.700 and makes CPG 690.700 obsolete. The notice of availability for CPG ``Sec. 690.800 Salmonella in Food for Animals'' is published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. FDA is withdrawing CPG 690.700, in its entirety, to eliminate obsolete compliance policy. Dated: July 10, 2013. Leslie Kux, Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
