FDA reform bill regarding inspection & recalls.
Posted on November 16th, 2009
Recently there has been a reform bill that sees the FDA with more power over inspection, enforcement and recalls when it comes to food safety. What this means is:
- More frequent inspection of food plants (a change from every 5 years to possibly every six months)
- Companies will need to provide electronic records to FDA more frequently
- The FDA will require safety plans for all food facilities
- And the most important for most people; it would give the FDA the right to mandate certain recalls and hand out stiffer penalties when needed.
