FDA Food Protection Plan
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) developed the Food Protection Plan in May 2007 to further increase the safety of the United States food supply. The plan focuses on greater scrutiny for high-risk products.
Long term, NAMA questions FDA's ability to operate the Food Protection Plan without food safety legislation or more funding dedicated to the plan. Within the plan, FDA is committed to developing an expedited entry program for certain importers. NAMA questions whether the program is truly beneficial.
