The following quote is attributed to Frank Yiannas, Deputy Commissioner for Food Policy and Response
In order to fulfill our public health mission and enhance the safety of imported foods in a global world, we must embrace new approaches that take into account the entire supply chain and its complexity. This draft guidance addresses the FDA s oversight of foods imported from countries covered by a Systems Recognition Arrangement, specifically adjustments to activities that include inspections, screening and sampling. It advances our New Era of Smarter Food Safety initiative and reflects our larger effort to take a risk-based approach to food safety, consistent with the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act.

FDA Seeks Innovative Food Traceability Tools And Opens A Dialogue On Advancing Food Safety With Technology
When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the New Era of Smarter Food Safety initiative in April 2019 and then released the blueprint in July 2020 outlining our goals, we put both in the context of doing our work differently, leveraging new and emerging technologies and approaches to create a safer and more digital, traceable food system.
We are taking two steps forward to do just that, working differently to enhance food traceability and support the use of technology to strengthen the food safety system.
