Title: ●Intentional Contamination
Abstract: The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (PL 111- 353) (FSMA) requires the Secretary of HHS to issue regulations to protect against the intentional adulteration of food. Section 106 requires that for foods that meet a certain threshold, the Secretary issue regulations that specify how a person is required to implement mitigation strategies or measures intended to protect against the intentional adulteration of food and specify appropriate science based mitigation strategies or measures to prepare and protect the food supply chain at specific vulnerable points. In addition, section 103 of FSMA requires that the Secretary promulgate regulations to establish science-based minimum standards for conducting a hazard analysis, documenting hazards, implementing preventive controls, and documenting the implementation of the preventive controls. Section 103 specifies that hazards include those that may be intentionally introduced. In this rule FDA will implement section 106 and section 103 as to hazards that are intentionally introduced. This rulemaking is part of a larger agency effort to focus on bolstering food defense throughout the food chain.
