OIG Report Scrutinizes FDA’s Domestic Food Facility Inspection Program
03 October 2017
The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a report last week detailing the results of its review the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) inspection of domestic food facilities, as well as its advisory and enforcement actions taken in response to significant inspection violations.
The key takeaway from the report is that FDA should do more to ensure the food supply is safe by taking “swift and effective action” to ensure facilities promptly correct problems identified during inspections. We summarize the OIG’s key findings and recommendations and also discusses how the report may affect facility inspections and subsequent agency actions in the future.
