Guidance for Industry1
This draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we)
on this topic. It does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. To discuss an alternative
approach, contact FDA’s Technical Assistance Network by submitting your question

Appendix 1: Potential Hazards for Foods and Processes
Appendix Organization
This appendix contains information on the potential biological, chemical, and physical hazards that are food-
related and process related. The potential hazard information presented covers the following 17 food (including
ingredients and raw materials) categories:
• Bakery
• Beverage
• Chocolate and Candy
• Dairy
• Dressings and Condiments
• Egg
• Food Additives
• Fruits and Vegetables
• Game Meat
• Grains
• Multi-Component Foods (such as a refrigerated entrée or a sandwich)
• Nuts
• Oil
1
This guidance has been prepared by the Office of Food Safety in the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition at the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Underlined text in yellow highlights represents a correction from the draft Appendix 1
that we issued for public comment in August 2016.
Appendix 1 (Tables of Potential Hazards) - Page 1
• Snack Foods
• Soups
• Spice
• Sweeteners
To help you to identify food-related and process-related hazards for the food categories listed above, this
appendix contains three series of tables:
• Tables 1A through 1Q contain information that you should consider for potential food-related biological hazards.
• Tables 2A through 2Q contain information that you should consider for potential food-related chemical hazards.
• Tables 3A through 3Q contain information that you should consider for potential process-related biological, chemical
and physical hazards.
How to Use the Tables in Appendix 1

Information provided in each table is organized to describe:
• Food Categories
• Food Subcategories
• Hazards
• Example Products
Potential hazards that you should consider for each food subcategory are indicated by an “X” in the column for
the hazard being assessed.
The tables in Appendix 1 encompass more than 200 pages. To reduce the printed size of this document (which
includes all of the available chapters in this guidance), we have not included those tables. To access the
tables in Appendix 1, see the separate Appendix 1 (complete with tables).
