In 2011 President Obama
signed into law the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The focus of this law
is to shift the food safety culture in the United States from responding to
contamination of food to preventing it.
It requires companies to be proactive in providing a safe food supply. While this is the most sweeping change in food
safety law in 70 years, it builds on existing regulations to ensure a broader
approach to food safety.
There were 7 rules promulgated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a
result of FSMA.
A

Control for Human Food, Produce Safety, and Sanitary Transportation Rule.
