FSMA rules

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is a U.S. law aimed at enhancing food safety to prevent contamination and protect public health. It shifts the focus from responding to foodborne illnesses to preventing them. Key rules require food producers and processors to implement safety plans, conduct regular inspections, and establish preventive measures. The law also emphasizes accountability, requiring better tracking and transparency in the food supply chain. Overall, FSMA helps ensure that food is safe to eat, reducing the risks of illness from contaminated products and improving the overall safety of the nation’s food system.
