Eventhough the claimed theme of this new Food Safety Law is prevention, there are some impediments to the full implementation of this new law.
The first one is the fact that this new law will require funding from our Food and Drug Administration, but the question is with all going on regarding reduced federal budgets, where will this money come from and whose pockets? I doubt if the "new Congress" will pass any legislation for funding $1.5 billion over the period of 2011 to 2015. You all know what that means, no new inspectors and no increased watchdog approach.
The other building situation is that this new law requires FDA to make "regulation" or guidance laws, such as the new HACCP plan for us food makers.
We know sometimes it takes years for them to provide a guidance document and then fully implement it.
Such is life in the food industry.
