With nearly 500 food safety recalls occurring per year, it is difficult for consumers to keep up. Prevention of foodborne illness—the main goal of the nonprofit organization Stop Foodborne Illness—can be aided by the establishment of a faster, more efficient, and modernized recall system.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Stop Foodborne Illness joined forces to present a webinar, titled, “Building a Coalition of Food Safety Culture Champions Across Your Organization.”
A panel of experts from regulatory, state agriculture, and consumer advocacy groups shared their views on recall modernization and improvement at a Wednesday educational session at the 2022 Food Safety Summit.
With a letter and a press conference, 29 food industry groups, consumer groups, and non-governmental organizations are urging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to unify its food program under a deputy commissioner.
