FDA Issues Guidance on FSMA Enforcement
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued guidance indicating that it will not enforce particular provisions implementing the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). “In certain situations the FDA has determined it is appropriate to take time to consider options, including rulemaking, to address concerns raised by stakeholders, while continuing to protect public health,” the constituent update states. “As we work on solutions, the agency does not intend to enforce these provisions as they currently apply to entities or activities addressed in the guidance.” Affected rules include:
- Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food;
- Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Animal Food;
- Foreign Supplier Verification Program;
- Produce Safety; and
- Intentional Adulteration.
