FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act)

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is a U.S. law aimed at improving food safety by focusing on prevention rather than just responding to foodborne illnesses. Enforced by the FDA, it requires food producers to implement safety measures, establish comprehensive food safety plans, and enhance inspections. FSMA also emphasizes better communication within the food supply chain and aims to ensure that food is safe from farm to table. Overall, it seeks to protect public health by minimizing the risks of contaminated food.
