State encourages food industry to comment on proposed food safety regulations

The Produce Safety regulation and the Food Safety Preventative Controls regulation are components of the Food Safety Modernization Act. “This is an opportunity for all of us in the food industry to work together to improve food safety in America,” Lohr said.

The first regulation announced by FDA emphasizes measures that farmers and produce packers should take to prevent the contamination of fresh fruits and vegetables. The second regulation includes preventive measures for the manufacture of food products.

Now that the rules are available for public comment, Lohr said it is important that the agricultural community takes the time to review them carefully and offer feedback. The FDA has already held many listening sessions and wants to continue that process through the comment period.
