Which of the following is NOT one of the seven major FSMA provisions?

• A. Preventive Controls for Human Food
• B. Produce Safety Standards
• C. Transportation
• D. Cleaning and Sanitation Standards

Answer: (D)

FSMA established seven major regulatory provisions focused on preventing contamination across different parts of the food system. Among the options, Preventive Controls for Human Food is a real FSMA rule that requires facilities to perform hazard analysis and put in place preventive controls for processing human food. The Produce Safety Standards (the Produce Safety Rule) sets standards for growing, harvesting, packing, and holding produce. The Transportation category corresponds to the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food rule, which addresses safe transport conditions. Cleaning and Sanitation Standards, while important for food safety and covered under general Good Manufacturing Practices and other hygiene requirements, is not a separate FSMA provision. It’s not one of the seven major FSMA rules, which is why this option is the correct choice as the item that is NOT one of the seven major provisions.
