FDA [the U.S. Food and Drug Administration] will focus on a culture of cooperation, not simply enforcement, to bring companies into compliance with food safety standards, pledged FDA’s Mike Taylor, deputy commissioner for Foods and Veterinary Medicine, on Sept. 10 at United Fresh's Washington Conference. Describing it as a “sea change,” Taylor told conference attendees that focusing on outcomes, rather than gathering evidence of violations, is part of a new operational mandate for advancing food safety at FDA.
