FDA Reports Progress Between U.S. and Mexico Food Safety Partnership
At the virtual annual meeting of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-Mexico's National Service of Agro-Alimentary Health, Safety, and Quality (SENASICA)-Cofepris Food Safety Partnership (FSP), held on August 20, 2021, FDA has reported continuing progress to ensure the safety of food imported from Mexico.
SENASICA and the Federal Commission for the Protection from Sanitary Risks (Cofepris) signed a Statement of Intent in September 2020 that broadened and strengthened the existing Produce Safety Partnership, which was established in 2014, to include all human food regulated by FDA. Mexico is responsible for one-third of all FDA-regulated human food imported into the U.S.
