<ns0:Title> An act to amend Section 113265 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to food. </ns0:Title>
<ns0:RelatingClause>food</ns0:RelatingClause>
<ns0:GeneralSubject>

</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law, the California Food Sanitation Act, requires a food processing establishment, as defined, to satisfy prescribed sanitation requirements for the purpose of food safety. Existing law, the Frozen Food Locker Plant Act of 1951, requires a person to obtain a license from the Secretary of Food and Agriculture to operate a frozen food locker plant. Existing law prohibits low acid foods that are frozen and packaged in hermetically sealed metal containers from being cooked in the containers before freezing.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that prohibition.</html:p>
