Title: Certifications Concerning Imported Foods 
Abstract:

Section 303 of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) (Pub. L. 111-353, sec. 303) amended section 801(a) (21 U.S.C. 381(a)) and added a new subsection 801(q) (21 U.S.C. 381(q)) to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) to allow the agency to require, as a condition of importation of food with known safety risk, a certification or such other assurances as the Agency determines appropriate, that imported food complies with U.S food safety requirements. This regulation, if finalized, will help prevent potentially harmful imported foods from reaching consumers and thereby improve the safety of the U.S. food supply.
