Seeking 21 CFR Standards for Crackers and Cookies

Hello,

Information required for applicable 21CFR standards  for crackers and cookies.

Thank you,

Hi MDG, your query needs to be more specific. Are you looking for naming standards? Requirements for food facilities producing those items? Labeling?

Hello,

I  am looking for the USFDA specification for bakery and cookies product. 

"cookies" and "crackers" are not standardized foods, so there are no specific naming requirements for them other than not being false or misleading.

Perhaps you can clarify what information you're specifically looking for? What question are you trying to answer?

Looking for the production specification w.r.t. chemical and microbiological compliance and any restriction on the use of the ingredient, emulsifier usage .

Gotcha,

Unfortunately there are no standardized microbial specifications formost products in the us, though generally people say "free of pathogens". 

Some example specifications can be found in this document, you can choose the category most applicable to your process/ingredients.

For ingredient restrictions, you will need to look up the individual food additivies you plan to use in the CFR and see what restrictions are in place in general. You can search by additive on this helpful website provided by FDA: https://www.fda.gov/...s/ucm091048.htm

Based on the nature of your queries, I would highly recommend hiring a US-based consultant to review your product/process/ingredients for compliance in USA. Note that you will need to register your facility here: https://www.fda.gov/...ion/default.htm
