Proposed Rules expected to go into effect at the beginning of September will bring the 2009 FDA Food Code to North Carolina, with changes that will affect nearly all food establishments. The proposed Rules include new (for North Carolina) concepts such as date labeling and consumer advisories for undercooked foods, as well as many smaller changes. Information will be posted to the Wake County Environmental Services website ( www.wakegov.com/food ) as it becomes available. Feel free to contact your inspector with any questions.
