Food Modernization Act of 2011: Wineries are subject to the 2011 FMA. Section 1.326 states that persons who manufacture, process, pack, transport, distribute, receive, hold, or import food are covered by this regulation. The winery is considered a manufacturer and must establish and maintain records of the food (including ingredients) that it receives as well as the food (wine) that it releases, in accordance with sections 1.337 and 1.345. If the winery also grows and harvests grapes that it uses to manufacture the wine, then it would be engaged in a mixed activity. In this instance, the growing facility may qualify for the farm exemption; the manufacturing activity would remain subject to the non-transporter record requirements. Text of the Law.
