In the September 22, 2015, Federal Register, FDA proposed to amend certain regulations pertaining to registration and process filings related to acidified foods and thermally processed low-acid foods packaged in hermetically sealed containers (also known as "low-acid canned foods" or "LACF"). The amendments would reflect new FDA process filing form numbers and would make changes to addresses or locations where such forms can be found or must be sent. Additionally, the amendments would remove obsolete references to the effective dates that occurred years ago, and update a reference to another federal agency. Comments are due December 7, 2015.
