As per CDC, just in a year in US, about 48 million people in the U.S. (1 in 6) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die due to Food Borne illnesses.
This is a significant public health burden that is largely preventable. As perceived through studies, food borne illnesses are not just a public health concern but also threat to the economic well-being of the food system and mankind.
Looking at the significance of offering preventable solution, FDA has taken a vital introducing Food Safety Modernization ACT (FSMA). This act has been introduced to transforming the nation’s food safety system by shifting the focus from responding to foodborne illness to preventing it.
To implement FSMA, FDA has finalized seven major rules for human and animal food.
