| As the food supply becomes increasingly global, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's partnerships with our regulatory counterparts and food producers in other nations are more important than ever. The work that the FDA has done in collaboration with the government and food industry in Mexico shows how much we can accomplish for the good of all our consumers when we work together. The FDA and the agencies responsible for food safety regulation in Mexico – the Federal Commission for the Protection from Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) and the National Service of Agro-Alimentary Health, Safety and Quality (SENASICA) – have a long history of working together. There's good reason for that – FDA data shows that about one-third of all agency-regulated human food imported into the U.S. is from Mexico, including 60% of our fresh produce imports. Thanks to the collaboration between our two countries, we have made strides in areas such as inspections, outbreak response and food safety training. | | | |
