Our lawmakers in Congress expect 600 foreign country inspections in 2011 with the number doubling every year for the next 5. That calculates to 19,200 foreign food plant inspections in about 5 to 6 years. The goal is probably attainable for this year, but come on guys in Congress, lets get all our oars in the water. Without substantial increases in manpower, talented manpower, or a complete overhaul as to how things are done, this is very improbable.
The FDA has said that over the next decade that it will transform itself from a domestic agency to a global agency operating in a global market and fully prepared for an agency in which product safety and quality know no borders.
The FDA will have to heavily rely on partnerships and coalitions to expand their global reach in order to make a future successful transformation.
We wish you well.
