Hello,
- UDSA/GIPSA approves test kit for high aflatoxin contamination.

- AFIA, NGFA, NOPA commend FDA for FSMA enforcement policy. The three U.S. grain, animal feed and feed ingredient processing organisations praised the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clarifying its enforcement policy for implementing several key sections of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which was signed into law in January 2011. Among other things, FSMA specifies a July 3 effective date for requirements that grain, feed, feed ingredient, grain processing, milling and other sectors of the commercial food and feed industry conduct hazard analyses and implement preventive controls. The law also establishes a Jan. 3, 2013 effective date for facilities to establish foreign supplier verification procedures. However, FDA as yet has not proposed or obtained public comment on regulations spelling out the compliance requirements for these provisions that will apply to various industry sectors. The agency has said it is planning to issue two distinct sets of proposed rules concerning the hazard analysis and preventive control requirements, one for human food and another for animal feed and pet food.
