Reading the FDA listing

Independent reference site. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the FDA.

The entry key is the FDA state table and the plant or BTU code as printed. One code can have several rows with different names, listing types, ratings or expiration dates. All those rows remain separate on the entry page.

Ratings and empty cells

The source separates raw milk, RS/TR station and plant compliance ratings from the enforcement rating. A blank remains blank and a printed hyphen remains a hyphen. An expiration date belongs to the row where it is printed.

Product codes and abbreviations

Use the FDA product legend and abbreviations for the printed codes. Listing type is copied from an explicit type in the source name; a blank means no type was extracted.
