The Food and Drug Administration on Jan. 28 released its report to Congress on its use of Food Safety Modernization Act mandatory recall authority. The agency is required by FSMA to report every two years on its mandatory recall authority, which allows FDA to order the recall of dangerous food if the distributor does not voluntarily cease distribution. This year’s report is the first since FSMA was passed in 2011. According to the report, FDA has only had to issue one mandatory recall order in the past two years. The agency ordered a recall of pet treats made in Colorado by Kasel Associates Industries, after the company didn’t recall all batches of pet treats that FDA had found to be contaminated with salmonella.
