Proactive verses Reactive approach Science based standards for safe production of fruits and vegetables New ability to hold food companies accountable for preventing contamination
Inspection and Compliance
Inspection resources in a risk-based manner Innovating in inspection approach to be efficient and effective utilizing existing resources
SLIDE 4 Food Safety Legislation Key Facts - Cont
Imported Food Safety
Requires importers to verify supplier activities Authorizes FDA to refuse imported food Authorizes FDA to require certification based on risk based criteria that food is in compliance with food safety requirements Provides importers incentive to voluntarily take additional safety measures to expedite shipment reviews
Response
For first time, FDA will have authority to recall all food products

Recognizes need to strengthen existing collaboration among all food safety agencies – Federal, state, local, territorial, tribal and foreign.
SLIDE 5 Background of FSMA
Signed into law January 4, 2011 by President Obama Embraces preventing a food safety system and recognizes the need for a global approach to food and feed safety. FDA proposed three additional rules that are foundational to the this preventive approach.
Preventive controls for human food and animals Standards for produce safety Foreign Supplier Verification Program for importers

CGMPs and Preventive Controls for Animals
FDA proposed rule breaks down into two areas:
Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) Preventive Controls for food for animals focuses on preventing problems in order to improve safety of these products.
Applies to domestic and imported animal food including: Pet Food Animal Feed Ingredient Processing & Raw Materials
SLIDE 7 With some exceptions, the proposed rule on CGMPs and preventive controls for food for animals would apply to the following facilities:
Manufacture Process Pack Hold Required to register as a food facility under section 415 of the FD&C Act.
(Does not apply to farms manufacturing food for own animals or other food facilities not required to register).
What types of facilities are covered
SLIDE 8
Similar safety requirements to human food CGMP regulations: Hygienic personnel practices and training Facility operations, maintenance, and sanitation Equipment and utensil design, use, and maintenance Processes and controls Warehousing and distribution
New Current Good Manufacturing Practices
SLIDE 9
Each facility would be required to prepare and implement a written food safety plan which includes the following:
Hazard analysis Risk-Based Preventive controls Recall Plan Monitoring Corrective actions Verification Recordkeeping
Hazard Analysis & Risk-Based Preventive Controls
SLIDE 10
