The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a public
meeting on February 20, 2014, in College Park, Maryland, to “discuss its
proposed rule to require domestic and foreign food facilities that are required
to register under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) to
address hazards that may be intentionally introduced by acts of terrorism.” The
agency has proposed the requirement as part of its implementation of the
Food Safety Modernization Act. FDA will accept comments until March 31. See
Federal Register, December 24, 2013.
