The CRFSC recognizes that discords or disputes regarding the implementation of CalCode may occasionally arise between the retail food industry and Enforcement Agencies. The intention of this process is to provide an objective third party review for resolving disputes.

Petitions will be processed by CRFSC only when all of the FOLLOWING CRITERIA ARE MET:

1) The conflict/dispute is an interpretation of CalCode;

2) All attempts at resolution have been exhausted at the local level; and

3) The conflict/dispute has statewide or regional impact
