Reinventing Food Regulations

FDA intends to adopt a common framework and build a common approach to food safety by incorporating into their programs a science based system of food safety controls, known as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), the specifics of which are designed and implemented by the food companies themselves. This report covers various regulatory reform recommendations: food safety: HACCP and performance standards; regulatory reform for substances added to food: food standards of identity; exports and imports; and other reforms.
