NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

The Utah Wholesome Food Act, Section 4-5-17, is designed to protect the public from adulterated or misbranded food. The statute authorizes the department to make rules, inspect food manufacturers and retailers to prevent the sale of adulterated or misbranded food.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments have been received by the department since the last five-year review supporting or opposing this rule.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The Uniform Retail Wheat Standard of identity ensures that the public has knowledge of what they are purchasing, the quality of the food item, and that the item is of standard that is not adulterated. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
