FDA Schedules Two More Public Meetings on FSMA Intentional Adulteration Proposal

The Food and Drug Administration said it will hold another two meetings during the comment period of its proposed rule on intentional adulteration of food to explain the proposal and get feedback from the public. The meetings will be held in Chicago on Feb. 27, and on March 13 in Anaheim, Calif. The proposed rule on intentional adulteration of food, required under the Food Safety Modernization Act, would require food facilities that are required to register with FDA to address hazards that may be intentionally introduced by acts of terrorism (see 13122017). FDA already said one public meeting on the rule will be held on Feb. 20 in College Park, Md.
