- FDA will continue to leverage and maximize every available tool and resource to meet our oversight responsibilities to promote and protect public health. #FDAVoices https://go.usa.gov/xss4z
- Manufacturers generally are required to have a quality management system, known as preventive controls systems in the food industry, to ensure products are suitable for use.
- FDA’s oversight, including inspections, verify that these quality management systems are in place and operating as required and identify where corrections are needed.
- I encourage you to use our resources and materials during #NationalNutritionMonth and throughout the year to learn about the importance of good nutrition.
- RT: @US_FDA: This March, during #NationalNutritionMonth, learn how you can use the updated Nutrition Facts Label to make informed food choices that contribute to lifelong healthy eating habits. https://fda.gov/food/new-nutrition-facts-label/whats-new-nutrition-facts-label
@FDAfood
- DYK – 71% of U.S. adults strongly agree that eating a healthy diet is important for long-term health? But, only 44% strongly agree they are confident they know how to choose healthy foods? The new Nutrition Facts label to can help support a healthy diet! http://go.usa.gov/xs9nM
