The Very Real Impact of the Food Safety Modernization Act: A Roundtable Symposium Addressing FSMA’s Effect on Academia and Industry
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which was signed into United States (U.S.) law in 2011, outlines new requirements for the food industry and how food safety authorities will enforce these requirements. FSMA affects every entity that produces, imports, distributes, manufactures and transports food, not only for U.S. food industry members but also for foreign suppliers. In this article we present a collection of testimonials from food safety experts in governmental agencies, academia and industry who participated in a roundtable symposium held during the 2017 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Annual Meeting. The food safety experts discussed the complexities of the FSMA and reported on the impact this regulation has had on their daily professional lives.
