The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public hearing regarding FDA initiatives for enhancing the safety of foods (for humans and animals) imported into the United States.
The hearing will focus on partnerships to improve safety capabilities through capacity building; partnerships that incorporate information from private entities and foreign competent authorities to inform risk-based decisionmaking; partnerships that recognize commodity-specific export programs; and partnerships that recognize the robustness of a nation’s entire food safety system.
In addition, the FDA is seeking information from a variety of viewpoints, including from competent authorities in other countries and from private entities, to help inform the FDA regarding risk-based decisionmaking, commodity-specific export control programs in other countries, and systems recognition.
