據(jù)了解，美國食品安全現(xiàn)代化法案的通過給予FDA最新食品安全權(quán)限，以確保國內(nèi)食品安全，確保進(jìn)口食品符合有關(guān)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)要求。近日美國FDA就食品安全合作問題征求意見。專家認(rèn)為，有許多合作工具可以用來增強(qiáng)進(jìn)口食品安全性，從能力構(gòu)建到認(rèn)可第三方審核和認(rèn)證、加強(qiáng)法規(guī)合作方式等。

 

    美國從200多個(gè)國家、12.5萬家公司進(jìn)口食品，由于15%美國食品為進(jìn)口，美國FDA有必要和供應(yīng)商、進(jìn)口商合作，以保證進(jìn)口食品的安全性。

    At FDA, we recognize that the partnerships we build with other nations are key to our success in giving American consumers confidence in the safety of the foods they choose to serve their families.

 

    In passing the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act （FSMA）， Congress provided FDA with new authorities to help ensure that domestic food is as safe as possible and that imported food meets U.S. food safety standards. These new authorities to enhance the safety of imported foods take into account a variety of food safety partnerships, including several that FDA has had in place for years.
