Establishing Federal Food Administration: Increased Food Safety and Mandatory Inspections.
This law establishes the Federal Food Administration (FFA), a new, dedicated agency taking over all food safety responsibilities from the FDA. The goal is to better protect public health by preventing foodborne illnesses, controlling additives and pesticides, and addressing diet-related chronic diseases. Citizens benefit from a more rigorous and frequent system of inspections for food production facilities.
Key points
Agency Split: The FDA is split; a new FFA focuses solely on food safety, while the remaining agency is renamed the Federal Drug Administration.
Mandatory Inspections: Minimum inspection frequencies are set: high-risk facilities must be inspected at least annually, and infant formula manufacturers every 6 months.
Faster Compliance: Follow-up compliance checks are required within 30 days after a facility receives a report detailing safety violations.
