On October 24, 2017, the Antibiotic Use in Food Animals Ordinance (Ordinance No. 204-17, San Francisco Environment Code Chapter 27) was signed by the Mayor and became effective on November 23, 2017. The Ordinance requires certain retailers of raw meat and poultry to report the use of antibiotics in such products to the Department of the Environment (DOE), and requires City departments to report the use of antibiotics in raw meat and poultry purchased by the City to the Department of the Environment, as codified in Municipal Code: Environment Code, Chapter 27. The Antibiotic Use in Food Animals Ordinance requires that Grocers report to the Department, on a form prescribed by the Director, the Antibiotics Use Policy for each Product Group sold in the City of San Francisco during the previous year. FMI appreciates the opportunity to comment on the draft regulations to implement the Ordinance.
