Title: ●Suspension of Food Facility Registration | |
Abstract: The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (the FD&C Act) with respect to the safety of the food supply. This law (Pub. L. 111-353), in section 102, authorizes the Secretary, or as delegated, the FDA Commissioner, to suspend the registration of a facility registered under section 415 of the FD&C Act if he or she determines that food manufactured, processed, packed, received, or held by that facility has a reasonable probability of causing serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals, if the facility created, caused, or was otherwise responsible for such a reasonable probability; or knew of, or had reason to know of, such reasonable probability and packed, received or held such food. Section 102 of the FSMA further includes provisions relating to opportunities for informal hearings on registration suspension, FDA's authority to require submission of a corrective action plan, and vacation or modification of suspension orders and reinstatement of registration. Section 102 of the FSMA directs FDA to implement these provisions by promulgating regulations, which may be done on an interim final basis. If the registration of a facility is suspended under the authority provided by section 102 FSMA, no person shall import or export food into the United States from such a facility, offer to import or export food into the United States from such facility, or otherwise introduce food from such facility into interstate or intrastate commerce in the United Sates. Anticipated cost to registrants involve their inability to legally conduct such business operations if their food facility registration is suspended. | |
