The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) recently issued a COVID-19 Industry Guidance intended for facilities that process or pack meat, dairy, or produce to support a safe and clean environment for workers. 

In general, the recommendations provided by CDPH are generally consistent with the interim guidance for meat and poultry processing workers and employers issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), although the documents are not identical.

This memorandum provides a general overview of the topics covered in the CPDH guidance.
