A joint public meeting to improve the system for tracing food products and ingredients that are causing illness outbreaks was announced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
Recognizing the need to increase the speed and accuracy of foodborne illness investigations, the agencies are seeking public input to improve food product tracing systems. The meeting is intended to improve the ability of FDA and FSIS to respond to outbreaks by rapidly identifying the source of contamination and removing it from the market.
The meeting will be December 9 and 10 at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's South Building in the Jefferson Auditorium in Washington, D.C.
Those interested in attending the public meeting can pre-register online.
