                     Contamination of Dry Dog Food; Withdrawal of Compliance Policy Guide

**AGENCY:**

Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

**ACTION:**

Notice; Withdrawal.

**SUMMARY:**

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the withdrawal of the compliance policy guide (CPG) entitled “Sec. 690.700 *Salmonella* Contamination of Dry Dog Food.” This CPG is obsolete.

**DATES:**

The withdrawal is effective July 16, 2013.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Diane D. Jeang, Office of Regulatory Affairs, Food and Drug Administration, 12420 Parklawn Dr., Rockville, MD 20857, 301-796-3890.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

FDA issued the CGP entitled “Sec. 690.700 *Salmonella* Contamination of Dry Dog Food (CPG 690.700)” on October 1, 1980. CPG 690.700 was issued as a result of a human case of salmonellosis traced to dry dog food; a subsequent FDA-conducted survey of dry dog food; a risk analysis; and the development of an appropriate sampling technique to test dry dog food for *salmonella* organisms.

Elsewhere in this issue of the *Federal Register* , FDA is announcing the availability of a new CPG to address all food for animals that may contain *salmonella* organisms, including dry dog food. This new CPG, entitled “Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 690.800 *Salmonella* in Food for Animals,” supersedes CPG 690.700 and makes CPG 690.700 obsolete. The notice of availability for CPG “Sec. 690.800 *Salmonella* in Food for Animals” is published elsewhere in this issue of the *Federal Register* .

FDA is withdrawing CPG 690.700, in its entirety, to eliminate obsolete compliance policy.

Dated: July 10, 2013.

Leslie Kux,

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
