Food Safety - Last Chapter

Several noteworthy provisions of the new Food Safety law is the mandatory recall authority provided to the FDA. For the first time, the FDA can demand and punish a manufacturer for not promptly removing a harmful product from the marketplace. It also allows inspectors to place stricter standards on imported foods to block foods from facilities or countries that refuse inspections. Currently the FSMA does not amend the meat inspection act and will not apply to meat, poultry or egg products. Our Secretary of Agriculture has stated however that the USDA is reviewing the meat inspection act and will apply FSMA reforms in the near term future.
