{"abstract":"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of the \"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.\" We are making available an interpretative summary, a technical Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) report with appendices, a risk-assessment model, and a document responding to public comments that we received regarding the 2013 \"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.\" The purpose of the QRA is to evaluate the effect of factors such as the microbiological status of milk, cheese-manufacturing steps, and conditions during distribution and storage on the overall risk of invasive listeriosis to the consumer of soft-ripened cheese in the United States or Canada. The QRA makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of some process changes and intervention strategies in reducing the risk of listeriosis.","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/2015/08/03/2015-18960.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"80 FR 46027","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":null,"disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FDA-2012-N-1182"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2015-18960","effective_on":null,"end_page":46028,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2015/08/03/2015-18960.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/08/03/2015-18960/joint-food-and-drug-administrationhealth-canada-quantitative-assessment-of-the-risk-of-listeriosis","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2015-18960?publication_date=2015-08-03","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2015-08-03/2015-18960/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":853,"last_updated":"2026-09-22 22:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-08-03/pdf/2015-18960.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2015-18960.pdf?1438346812","publication_date":"2015-08-03","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2015/08/03/2015-18960.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":"2015-08-23T06:00:14Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":46027,"subtype":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","toc_doc":"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_subject":"Guidance:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":80}
