March 23, 2023 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has released a report outlining how it plans to continue keeping the country’s seafood imports safe.
The report, “Activities for the Safety of Imported Seafood,” released in late February 2023, explains how the FDA is building upon the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act and the FDA Strategy for the Safety of Imported Food to accomplish its goals for imported seafood. In its report, the FDA acknowledged that the seafood supply chain one of the most-complicated it deals with. Further complicating its job is the fact that a vast majority of the seafood consumed in the U.S. is imported.
