FDA Issues Guidance on Detention of Human, Animal Food

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued industry guidance
concerning the “administrative detention of human or animal food.” Providing
information about FDA’s authority under the Food Safety and Modernization
Act to hold adulterated or misbranded food and prevent it from reaching
the marketplace, the guidance explains who can approve an administrative
detention order, what food may be subject to detention, who receives a copy
of the order, and the appeals process. See Federal Register, October 25, 2011.
