We are now on track to get a
revised food safety system in place in the USA. President Obama signed the Food Safety Modernization Act into law
on January 4, 2011, and the FDA issued the proposed rules to fulfill the
requirements for preventive controls in human food on January 4, 2013. The
proposed rules are based on widely-accepted industry standards, so there should
be few surprises for manufacturers. There is still work to be done to get the
finalized rules in place, but there is now little doubt that the Food Safety
Modernization Act is here to stay.
With the Food Safety Act in play,
the question that Invensys now asks ourselves is "how do we bring value to
our customers by automating food safety solutions?"
