The new requirement, laid out in section 424(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDC Act), was established through the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act of 2022 (FDORA) and requires manufacturers of critical foods to develop, maintain, and implement redundancy risk management plans that identify and manage risks to the supply chain to help prevent future disruptions and shortages. The requirement went into effect immediately following the enactment of FDORA on December 29, 2022.
