{"abstract":"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a draft \"Joint Food and Drug Administration/Health Canada--Sant[eacute] Canada Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Listeriosis From Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada.\" This draft Quantitative Risk Assessment (the draft QRA) includes an Interpretative Summary, a Technical Report, with Appendixes, and a risk assessment model. The purpose of the draft QRA is to evaluate the effect of factors such as the microbiological status of milk, the impact of cheese manufacturing steps, and conditions during distribution and storage on the overall risk of invasive listeriosis to the consumer in the United States or Canada of soft- ripened cheese. The draft QRA makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of some process changes and intervention strategies in reducing the risk of listeriosis. We are making the draft QRA available for public comment.","action":"Notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Food and Drug Administration","name":"Food and Drug Administration","id":199,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/food-and-drug-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/199","parent_id":221,"slug":"food-and-drug-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2013/02/11/2013-02960.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"78 FR 9701","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2013-04-29","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Submit either electronic or written comments on the draft QRA by April 29, 2013.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FDA-2012-N-1182"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2013-02960","effective_on":null,"end_page":9702,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2013/02/11/2013-02960.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/02/11/2013-02960/draft-joint-food-and-drug-administrationhealth-canada-quantitative-assessment-of-the-risk-of","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2013-02960?publication_date=2013-02-11","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2013-02-11/2013-02960/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":2423,"last_updated":"2026-07-26 04:15:02 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-02-11/pdf/2013-02960.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013-02960.pdf?1360331693","publication_date":"2013-02-11","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2013/02/11/2013-02960.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Reference 5 - Replies to Comments re Joint Food and Drug Administration/Health Canada Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Listeriosis From Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada","document_id":"FDA-2012-N-1182-0041"},{"title":"Reference  4 FDA and Health Canada re Joint Food and Drug Administration/Health Canada Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Listeriosis From Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada","document_id":"FDA-2012-N-1182-0040"},{"title":"Reference 3 FDA-HC Lm in Cheese Appendixes 01 07 14 re Joint Food and Drug Administration/Health Canada Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Listeriosis From Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada","document_id":"FDA-2012-N-1182-0039"},{"title":"Reference 2 - Listeria-Risk-Asssment-Technical-Report re Joint Food and Drug Administration/Health Canada Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Listeriosis From Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada","document_id":"FDA-2012-N-1182-0038"},{"title":"Reference 1 -Listeria-Risk-Assessment-Interpretive Summary re Joint Food and Drug Administration/Health Canada Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Listeriosis From Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada","document_id":"FDA-2012-N-1182-0037"},{"title":"Reference List - Notice-Risk-Assessment-US-Canada-Cheese re Joint Food and Drug Administration/Health Canada Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Listeriosis From Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada","document_id":"FDA-2012-N-1182-0036"}],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FDA-2012-N-1182","supporting_documents_count":6,"docket_id":"FDA-2012-N-1182","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Joint Food and Drug Administration / Health Canada Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Listeriosis from Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2013-05-01T05:00:18Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":9701,"subtype":null,"title":"Draft Joint Food and Drug Administration/Health Canada Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Listeriosis From Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada","toc_doc":"Listeriosis from Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada","toc_subject":"Draft FDA/Health Canada Quantitative Risk Assessment:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":78}
