The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was passed in 2011 to improve the nation’s ability to prevent and address food safety issues. As part of FSMA’s reforms to America’s food safety system, the FDA will soon begin routine inspections pursuant to the Produce Safety Rule. Working with the FDA and industry, that group helps producers of sprouts meet their unique obligations under the Produce Safety Rule. FDA enforcement of the Produce Safety Rule is coming soon via routine inspections. Let’s hope the FDA’s further implementation of the Produce Safety Rule produces results in ensuring the safety of America’s food supply.
