New Repacking Guidance Document

As more volunteers hope to lend a hand in fighting food insecurity in the U.S., the need for a guide for food repacking events has been met through a collaboration of some of the organizations most impacted. Published by the Association of Food & Drug Officials (AFDO), the Bulk Repacking of Non-Ready-to-Eat Dry Product for Charitable Distribution guide is now available to provide a simplified set of standard operating practices designed to provide safe packing conditions. This will ensure that non-ready-to-eat dry products may continue to be packaged by volunteers and non-profit organizations for distribution within the U.S. This guide is available at www.afdo.org/publications and through the AFDO smartphone app, which is free through Apple and Google Play app stores.
