Implementation of the Food and Drug Administration Food Safety Modernization Act Amendments to the Reportable Food Registry Provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

概要

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit comments, data, and information to assist the Agency in implementing the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which added new provisions to the Reportable Food Registry (RFR) requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act). Under the new provisions, FDA may require a responsible party to also submit to FDA "consumer-oriented" information regarding certain reportable foods, including information necessary to enable a consumer to accurately identify whether the consumer is in possession of a reportable food. FDA must prepare and publish on FDA's Internet Web site a one-page summary of the consumer- oriented information that can be easily printed by a grocery store for the purposes of consumer notification. A grocery store that sold a reportable food that is the subject of an FDA one-page summary, and that is part of a chain of establishments with 15 or more physical locations, is required to prominently display the FDA one-page summary, or the information from the summary, within 24 hours after the one-page summary is published on FDA's Web site
