On behalf of its members, the Produce Marketing Association (PMA) has submitted its comments to FDA on the four supplemental proposals under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) on produce safety, preventative controls for human food, foreign supplier verification programs and preventative controls for animal feed.
“Our main priority is to assure that when these regulations are finalized and implemented they will best serve public health and our industry’s food safety needs,” said Jim Gorny, PMA vice president of food safety and technology. “These proposed FSMA rules will have profound business implications on every aspect of the global produce supply chain – they have to be right.”
