22 Mar 2019 --- Thanks to innovations in technology and the new requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), there are now “ample opportunities to strengthen public health and bring innovative food products to consumers than perhaps at any other time in history.” This is according to outgoing FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. and Deputy Commissioner Frank Yiannas. As part of the President’s 2020 Budget, the FDA has proposed new funding across multiple aspects of US food safety systems and are seeking to invest in preventing problems by solidifying the agency’s tools under the FSMA.
