The Food and Drug Administration issued its 2016-2025 Strategic Plan for its Foods and Veterinary Medicine Program (here). The FDA set four broad goals involving food safety, nutrition, protection of human and animal health and "organizational excellence." The agency will work to modernize its food safety efforts by "broadening interaction with foreign partners and increasing oversight of importers, who will have more responsibility for the safety of imported foods," said Stephen Ostroff, deputy commissioner for Foods and Veterinary Medicine, and Howard Sklamberg, deputy commissioner for Global Regulatory Operations and Policy, in a letter that accompanied the strategic plan (here).
