FDA Holds Public Hearing on Food Safety Import Strategy Under FSMA
28 February 2017
Earlier this month, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held a two-day public hearing that addressed the agency’s plans to engage in strategic partnerships to enhance the safety of imported foods.
FDA used the hearing as an opportunity to ask questions of and learn from private entities and food safety authorities in other countries. The key topics discussed were the use of third-party certification bodies in regulatory decision-making, systems recognition, international capacity building, and commodity-specific exports and programs. We summarized some of the highlights from the hearing that may be of particular interest to food manufacturers and their trade associations. FDA has opened a docket for comments on the issues discussed at the hearing, which is open through May 16, 2017.
