Description

In recent years, both domestic and imported produce have been linked to reported outbreaks of foodborne illness. Contamination in produce is of particular concern because produce is often consumed raw. The Food and Drug Admin. (FDA) has primary responsibility for ensuring the safety of both domestic and imported fresh produce. This report examines: (1) the resources FDA has spent on fresh produce safety and how it has allocated those resources; (2) the effectiveness of FDA’s actions to oversee fresh produce safety; and (3) the extent to which FDA’s planned actions to enhance fresh produce oversight address identified challenges. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
