Purpose

Requires the registration of food storage establishments with the department of agriculture and markets.

Summary of provisions

Amends the article heading of article 20-C of the agriculture and markets law to read "Licensing and Registration of Food Processing and Storage Establishments".

Defines "food warehouse" as any establishment in which food is held for commercial distribution.

Sets the registration fee for food warehouses at $200.

Justification

Better ensures the safety of New York's commercial food supply from criminals and terrorists.
