A New Era of Smarter Food Safety; Public Meeting, Request for Comments

Streszczenie

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is announcing the following public meeting entitled "A New Era of Smarter Food Safety" to get input from a broad cross-section of stakeholders on a modern approach the Agency is taking to strengthen its protection of the food supply. The purpose of this meeting is to foster a dialogue with our domestic and international regulatory and public health partners, industry, consumers, academia, and others. The input received at this meeting, and in comments submitted to the docket, will be used to shape an FDA Blueprint for a New Era of Smarter Food Safety. This Blueprint will outline how this modern approach will address public health challenges, ranging from being able to trace sources of contaminated foods, to using new predictive analytics tools like artificial intelligence to assess risks, and help prioritize the Agency's work and resources.
