Product Tracing Systems for Fresh Produce; Public Meetings

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing two public meetings regarding product tracing systems for fresh produce. The purpose of the meetings is to stimulate and focus a discussion about mechanisms to enhance product tracing systems for fresh produce and to improve FDA's ability to use the information in such systems to identify the source of contamination associated with fresh produce- related outbreaks of foodborne illness. This discussion will help FDA determine what short and long term steps we should take to enhance the current tracing system.
