F.D.A. calls meeting to discuss 'new era of smarter food safety'

摘要

The Food and Drug Administration will convene a public meeting on Oct. 21 to discuss its New Era of Smarter Food Safety initiative that the agency says will build on the ongoing efforts to implement the Food Safety Modernization Act by incorporating new technologies to create "a more digital, traceable and safer system to help protect consumers from contaminated food." Transparency and traceability are the F.D.A.'s chief concerns in developing, with stakeholder advice and comments, a blueprint for its food safety initiative. It hopes to issue a strategic blueprint in early 2020.
