Now that the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has been upon us for more than three and a half years, what will be the economic impact to the food industry along with the corresponding public health benefit? This roundtable discussion capitalizes on industry’s calculated costs to implement FSMA, as written, in the proposed rules for Preventative Controls for Human Food, Focused Mitigation Strategies to Protect Food Against Intentional Adulteration and Preventive Controls for Food for Animals. Hear industry’s key concerns and how the economics of the food manufacturing industry could be impacted. Understand the Agency’s calculations included in the Preliminary Regulatory Impact Analysis (PRIA) in comparison to industry’s calculations. Audience members will have the opportunity to pose questions to each panelist regarding the specifics of the economic impact and the associated public health benefits along with the general approach of the PRIAs. Key challenge areas are encouraged to be discussed.
