Title: ●Implementation of Sanitary Food Transportation Act of 2005 
Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to request data and information on the food transportation industry and its practices. FDA also is requesting data and information on the contamination of transported foods and any associated outbreaks. FDA is taking this action as part of its implementation of the Sanitary Food Transportation Act of 2005 (2005 SFTA), which requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to issue regulations setting forth sanitary transportation practices to be followed by shippers, carriers by motor vehicle or rail vehicle, receivers, and others engaged in food transport. This action is also part of a larger agency effort to focus on prevention of food safety problems throughout the food chain. The regulations would address the risks to human or animal health associated with the transportation of food.
