  • FDA signed a MOU with @USDA  to enhance the exchange of information about dual jurisdiction establishments & operations for human food operations. It excludes animal food operations because they are regulated by the FDA. https://go.usa.gov/xF5P7
  • This MOU reflects a concerted, modern approach to the exchange of information to allow more efficient use of resources from both agencies and to improve public health protection.
