The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (FDA’s CFSAN) and Office of Food Policy and Response (OFPR) have released an updated list of draft and final guidance topics that are a priority for the FDA Foods Program to complete during 2022. The list focuses on Level 1 draft and final guidances.
Listed draft and final guidances address topics such as: questions and answers regarding allergens and labeling, foods derived from genetically modified plants, action levels for toxic elements in juice and food for young children, hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls, imports, sprouts, industry-specific measures for microbiological contaminants, and labeling of plant-based alternatives.
