Food Safety Modernization Act

The acronym FSMA stands for Food Safety Modernization Act. On January 4, 2011, Barack Obama signed it. The Food and Drug Administration now has the authority to control how foods are grown, harvested, and processed thanks to the FSMA. It gives FDA the authority to recall the licences of organisations that have been operating for a long time. The emergence of numerous incidents of contaminated food-borne illnesses is the primary driver for the signing of this law.
