The Food and Drug Administration's role in the food supply is to approve new foods (including additives, preservatives, and genetically modified) after tests have shown they are safe, recall foods that have been contaminated and are harmful, etc.

How does the FDA food code affect individual states and jurisdictions?

The FDA only has jurisdiction over interstate commerce. So if you do EVERYTHING within your state's boundaries, you are not bound to the rules and regulations of the FDA (but would likely be covered by the USDA and your state's food regulations). The FDA takes a very broad view on this and so if there is anything that is involved in interstate commerce (i.e. you buy the jars or labels for your items from somewhere out of state), you would fall under their regulations. Remember... the FDA doesn't actually regulate that much of the food supply in the US. It is mostly regulated by the USDA.
