Description: The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) outlines a new approach to animal food safety that is risk-informed and preventive in focus. Recognizing that sample testing can play a greater role in helping the Agency and our regulatory partners prevent contaminated product from reaching consumers, understand risks, and assess the value of strategies to control those risks, the Food and Drug Administration has implemented processes to deploy its resources using risk-based decision making that is founded in science and available data.In order to develop prevention-based systems, data and other information are needed to help identify and address hazards. This data generated by laboratories can be leveraged by state, tribal, and territorial feed safety agencies to ensure the animal food supply is safe and wholesome to promote both animal and human health.
