FDA Releases Plan, Independent Review to Improve Foodborne Outbreak Response

New Era of Smarter Food Safety FDA Releases Plan, Independent Review to Improve Foodborne Outbreak Response December 9, 2021 Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released the Foodborne Outbreak Response Improvement Plan to enhance the speed, effectiveness, coordination, and communication of investigations into outbreaks of foodborne illness. The plan was informed by an independent review of the FDA's structural and functional capacity to support, participate in, or lead multistate foodborne illness outbreak investigation activities. The plan is intended to work in concert with FDA's New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint, which outlines specific approaches the FDA will take over the next decade to address food safety in the rapidly changing food system. Focused on outbreaks associated with human food, the plan is divided into four priority areas: tech-enabled product traceback, root cause investigations, analysis and dissemination of outbreak data, and operational improvements. In early 2022, a webinar will be held to walk stakeholders through the plan and to respond to questions.  For More Information FDA's Foodborne Outbreak Response Improvement Plan An Independent Review of FDA's Foodborne Outbreak Response Processes https://www.fda.gov/smarterfoodsafety Manage Subscriptions  |  Unsubscribe All  |  Help This email was sent to ooseims.archieves@blogger.com using GovDelivery Communications Cloud on behalf of: U.S. Food and Drug Administration ·  10903 New Hampshire Ave · Silver Spring, MD ·  20993-0002 ·  1-888-INFO-FDA
