Existing law, the Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law, contains various provisions regarding the packaging, labeling, and advertising of food, drugs, and cosmetics. A violation of any of these provisions is punishable as a misdemeanor. This bill would require all manufacturers of Asian rice based noodles to place labels on the Asian rice based noodles that indicate the date of manufacture and to include a warning that the Asian rice based noodles are perishable and must be consumed within 4 hours of manufacture. Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, establishes uniform health and sanitation standards for retail food facilities, as defined. The law requires the State Department of Public Health to adopt regulations to implement and administer those provisions, and delegates primary enforcement duties to local health agencies. A violation of any of these provisions is punishable as a misdemeanor. This bill would permit the sale of Asian rice based noodles, as defined, that have been at room temperature for no more than 4 hours and would prohibit the sale of Asian rice based noodles unless they are labeled according to the requirements of this bill. This bill would also require the local enforcement agency to approve the manner in which Asian rice based noodles kept at room temperature are to be consumed, cooked, or destroyed. By imposing new duties upon local agencies and expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
