On January 4, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the "FDA Food Safety Modernization Act" (aka S.510) into law. A recent article on foodsafety.gov by Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs, states that the bill has several immediate effects, including giving the FDA the right to issue recalls, along with others that are slated to be developed over the coming years. However the implementations come across, the Modernization Act will be of central focus in the coming years for all food service industry interests.
Along with numerous facets of the Act, Nelson-Jameson is here to help you meet all of your food safety needs in terms of the Act’s focus on increased inspections and preventative food safety controls. You can be assured that Nelson-Jameson will continue to act as your one-stop supply source as 2011 brings a new vision of food safety into the mix.
