  • THREAD: Americans expect their food to be safe, whether it’s domestic or imported. #FDA screens every single line of food imported into the U.S.  I’m at the Laredo import post observing firsthand how it’s done with Maria Elena Perez.
  • #FDA recently rolled out a new strategy for a multi-layered, data-driven, smarter approach to imported food safety. We’re optimizing FSMA implementation activities, longstanding tools & authorities to meet our food safety mission. Learn more https://go.usa.gov/xEVch
