@SteveFDA
- Some of @US_FDA’s recent work includes releasing the New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint, which aims to reduce and minimize the impact of foodborne illness.
- This plan outlines the steps we will take over the next decade to create a more digital, traceable & safer food system. Through this plan, we will leverage new & emerging technologies & modern tools & approaches.
- We’ll build on the work we’ve done & continue to do through implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
- The challenges of the #COVID19 pandemic have only clarified that our New Era goals will strengthen how we approach the safety & security of the nation’s food supply.
