About Retail Program Standards Reference System (RPSRS)

RPSRS is a searchable knowledgebase for the regulation of foodservice and retail food establishments. It is intended to reinforce proper sanitation (good retail practices) and operational and environmental prerequisite programs while encouraging regulatory agencies and industry to focus on the factors that cause and contribute to foodborne illness, with the ultimate goal of reducing the occurrence of those factors. RPSRS will encourage regulatory agencies to improve and build upon existing program work and further provide a framework designed to accommodate both traditional and emerging approaches to food safety. Questions regarding the use of RPSRS should be directed to an FDA Retail Food Specialist.
