PART 1_GENERAL ENFORCEMENT REGULATIONS--Table of Contents

 

    Subpart J_Establishment, Maintenance, and Availability of Records

 

Sec.  1.330  Can existing records satisfy the requirements of this 

subpart?



    The regulations in this subpart do not require duplication of 

existing records if those records contain all of the information 

required by this subpart. If a covered person keeps records of all of 

the information as required by this subpart to comply with other 

Federal, State, or local regulations, or for any other reason, then 

those records may be used to meet these requirements. Moreover, persons 

do not have to keep all of the information required by this rule in one 

set of records. If they have records containing some of the required 

information, they may keep those existing records and keep, either 

separately or in a combined form, any new information required by this 

rule. There is no obligation to create an entirely new record or 

compilation of records containing both existing and new information, 

even if the records containing some of the required information were not 

created at the time the food was received or released.
