據美國FDA網站消息, 近日有消息稱,美國FDA將采取措施禁止手工奶酪使用木質工具,美國FDA 于6月11日就此發布聲明進行了澄清。
美國FDA稱,手工制作奶酪中使用木質工具有悠久的歷史,FDA不打算采取措施禁止使用木質工具。
部分原文報道如下:
Recently, you may have heard some concerns suggesting the FDA has taken steps to end the long-standing practice in the cheesemaking industry of using wooden boards to age cheese. To be clear, we have not and are not prohibiting or banning the long-standing practice of using wood shelving in artisanal cheese. Nor does the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) require any such action. Reports to the contrary are not accurate.
The agency's regulations do not specifically address the use of shelving made of wood in cheesemaking, nor is there any FSMA requirement in effect that addresses this issue. Moreover, the FDA has not taken any enforcement action based solely on the use of wooden shelves.
