FDA Food Protection Plan Shows Significant Progress

FDA has released the Food Protection Plan Progress Report, which shows significant areas of activity to further improve the safety of the country’s food supply since the agency unveiled its Food Protection Plan in November 2007. The improvements highlight the agency’s efforts to address domestic and global changes in our food supply. The Food Protection Plan focuses on prevention (building safety in from the start), intervention (using targeted risk-based inspections and testing), and response (responding rapidly when problems are identified).
