INTRODUCED BY   Senator Knight

   An act to amend Section 113876 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to food.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1235, as introduced, Knight. Prepackaged food.
   Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, establishes uniform
health and sanitation standards for retail food facilities,
including mobile food facilities and temporary food facilities.
Existing law provides that local health agencies are primarily
responsible for enforcing these provisions. A person who violates any
provision of the code is guilty of a misdemeanor, except as
otherwise provided. Existing law defines prepackaged food for
purposes of these provisions.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 113876 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   113876.  "Prepackaged food" means  any   a
 properly labeled processed food, prepackaged to prevent
 any  direct human contact with the food product
upon distribution from the manufacturer, a food facility, or other
approved source.
