The Food and Drug Administration on Sept. 30 announced the creation of a Food Safety Dashboard with metrics tracking the implementation and effectiveness of its Foreign Supplier Verification Program requirements for food importers. The dashboard’s import section includes statistics on the outcomes of foreign supplier inspections by FDA and recalls attributed to imported food and animal food, as well as the outcomes of FSVP inspections of importers carried out by FDA. The initial rollout of the dashboard also includes a section on preventive controls requirements for human and animal food. “Over time, the Food Safety Dashboard will be populated with additional data to show more [Food Safety Modernization Act] outcomes,” FDA said.

The Food and Drug Administration is proposing new regulations on premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs). FDA’s proposed rule would codify general procedures FDA would follow when evaluating PMTAs, including application acceptance, application filing, and inspections, and would also create postmarket reporting requirements for applicants that receive marketing orders. It would also require that manufacturers maintain records establishing that their tobacco products are legally marketed. While FDA has been evaluating PMTAs for years, the new regulations would clarify requirements for applicants and reduce the costs of having to file follow-up submissions when their original applications aren’t accepted by FDA. Comments are due Nov. 25.
