The assignment for this week focusses on the relationship between the FSMA and food defense. You will be required to study and review the Act and discuss some of the important issues relating its implementation and its effectiveness in preventing and/or controlling intentional food contamination.
One of the main aims of the FDAs Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) shown in https://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/FSMA/ucm378628.htm (Links to an external site.) is to prevent intentional food contamination and adulteration from acts intended to cause harm to public health. It also aims to prevent acts of terrorism targeting the food supply system.
This final rule requires the application of certain risk-reducing strategies for processes in certain registered food facilities.
Review the FSMA final rule on food defense and discuss its main provisions and strategies.
To what extent do you think these food defense regulations help to reduce the risk of availability of unsafe food?
Discuss some of the challenges that might face implementation and suggest how these challenges can be addressed.
