We are pleased by the commitment of Congress and the Obama Administration to enact food safety reforms and strengthen FDA’s food safety capabilities. Combined with quick enactment of the necessary legislative and regulatory reforms, these initiatives should significantly reduce the number and type of food recalls we have seen in recent years and strengthen our overall food safety system.”
The initiatives are outlined in Prevention, Partnership and Planning: Supply Chain Initiatives to Improve Food Safety. They include:
1. Product Recall Modernization: The Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and GS1US, with the support of GMA, have developed and launched an electronic [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Web-based product recall portal that facilitates the rapid and accurate flow of information between manufacturers and retailers during product recalls.
2. Accredited Third Party Food Safety Audit Certification: Third party audits are an important part of America’s food safety net. To ensure rigor and integrity in third party certification, policymakers and industry leaders should encourage the engagement of auditors employed by certification bodies accredited to international standards by recognized organizations such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)..
3. Modernization and Implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) for Food: FDA is in the process of updating and issuing its Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) regulations for food, which are a critical component of our nation’s food safety system
“In addition [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we are developing enhanced food safety education and training for member and non-member companies, assessing and enhancing our crisis management capability and expanding our ability to communicate directly with consumers during product recalls to ensure industry is doing its part to protect consumers. We are working with stakeholders from the entire supply chain to develop comprehensive and meaningful food safety solutions that will improve food safety and consumer confidence,” concluded Ms. Bailey.
Prevention, Partnership and Planning is the third in a series of food industry proposals and initiatives designed to improve the safety and security of the food supply by preventing problems before they arise and utilizing private sector know-how to respond effectively to future incidents. In the fall of 2007, the food industry unveiled its Commitment to Consumers: The Four Pillars of Imported Food Safety [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], designed to improve the safety of imported food and food ingredients. In January 2009, the industry announced its food safety legislative reforms for the Obama Administration and the 111th Congress.
