Grocery manufacturers outline food safety progress at FDA meeting
Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) executive vice president of policy and strategic planning Mary Sophos outlined the progress industry is making in bolstering food safety globally at a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) public meeting last week, and briefed attendees on how private and public sector cooperation are advancing implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and making the food supply safer for consumers in the U.S. and around the world.
“We believe that strong and effective roles for both the public and private sectors analogous to how we operate in the U.S. are the best way to fully realize the new global food safety regime envisioned in FSMA,” Sophos says.
