A facility is eligible for modified requirements if it either:
-Is a very small business defined as less than $1 million in annual sales of human food (based on previous 3 years) OR
-Has less than $500,000 in annual gross sales (adjusted for inflation) over a previous three year period AND sells the majority of the food directly to a qualified user (i.e. a consumer, or a restaurant or retail food establishment (e.g. grocery store) that is located in the same state as the facility or not more than 275 miles from the facility).
Those facilities that qualify for the above exemption do not need to take the FSPCA workshop. HOWEVER, qualified facilities MUST submit a form every two years beginning December 2018.
