Recalls and foodborne illness outbreaks raise serious concerns among US consumers and manufacturers alike. Each year, the federal government estimates there are about 48 million cases of foodborne illnesses, resulting in approximately 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. Furthermore, consumers are increasingly interested in knowing the origin of the products they consume. As the globalization of food production has made the supply chain more complex, FDA is fully committed to enforcing a proactive approach envisioned by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Many deadlines for preventive measures have already passed—and by May 31, 2016, manufacturers must have taken appropriate steps to deter, detect and prevent any act of intentional adulteration, such as food fraud for economic gain.
