FSMA Rules on Human and Animal Food Published by FDA
In January 2011, President Barack Obama signed off on the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Over 4 years later, some of FSMA’s final rules are coming into effect.
This morning, two of FSMA’s final rules were in available as pre-publication pdfs on the Federal Register--one for preventive controls for human food, the other in relation to animal food. The final pdfs are scheduled to be available on September 17, 2015.
Preventive controls for human food rule:
As for preventive controls for the animal food rule, they cover the same points as the rule for human food. The only difference is that the animal rule makes reference to feed mills that are vertically integrated into farm operations which will not be covered by this particular rule.
