Titles are subdivided into parts and parts are subdivided into sections. **The majority of companies in the food and beverage industry fall under the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, abbreviated CFR 21**. ## What that Means for Food and Beverage Companies While CFR 21 is broken down into 1,499 parts, **most food and beverage companies are primarily concerned with CFR 21 Section 120**. CFR Title 21 Section 120 involves very stringent practices concerning the storage, packaging, labeling, and recording of your food and beverage products. Section 120.6(c) states, “Each processor shall maintain Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) records that, at a minimum, document the monitoring and corrections ... [and that] these records are subject to the recordkeeping requirements of 120.12.”   **Disregarding Section 120 can prove costly.** Recently, a food manufacturing company was fined $125,000 for violating the [Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)](https://blog.southeastcomputers.com/critical-components-you-should-know-about-the-fdas-haccp), which encompasses Section 120. ## Getting Help with Compliance Don't let your company suffer the same fate – let Southeast Computer Solutions help.
