Hello,
- AFIA submits comments to FDA regarding information collection during inspections
The American Feed Industry Association submitted comments to the docket to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding the agency’s information collection activities as related to upcoming Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) implementation.
“AFIA supports a strong approach to FSMA training, compliance and enforcement, one that is clear to the regulated industry and allows innovation and different approaches to achieve the same goals in the new law,” stated AFIA’s vice president of feed control and nutrition Richard Sellers.
Sellers added, “AFIA believes much of the information FDA is requesting is necessary for the agency to collect…[but] there are some areas of concern both in terms of the burden on facilities to gather the information and the ability of FDA to protect this information as confidential.”
The comments explained that many AFIA members consider their quality assurance programs and food safety plans as proprietary and confidential. AFIA reiterated to FDA that for firms to provide this type of information to FDA means firms needs a clear protection from disclosure to the public.
