Frequently asked questions
Does every state use the FDA Food Code?
Most do, but not all the same edition, and a few agencies list none. The table above copies the FDA's 2024 adoption report row by row. Cities and counties can add their own rules on top.
Why does my state page say not yet verified?
Because we only print what we have checked against the official source, word for word: the edition a state adopts, and local rules such as where to submit and what it costs. Until then the page shows the FDA report, links the state agency, and tells you to check with your health department.

Every temperature, time and pH on this page is quoted from the FDA Food Code 2022 with its section number. Your state or county may run an older edition or add its own rules, and only your regulatory authority approves a HACCP plan or grants a variance. This page explains the rules in plain words; it is not legal advice.
