FSMA at 15: What Should the Food Safety Industry Keep — and Rethink?

What is one lesson from the Food Safety Modernization Act's (FSMA) first 15 years that the food safety industry should carry forward, and one thing it should be willing to rethink as the system continues to evolve?

During the Glenn W. Kilpatrick Memorial Conversation on FSMA at 15, part of the 130th Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) Annual Educational Conference, held June 5-9 in Columbus, Ohio, the following panelists weighed in:

  • De Ann Davis, Ph.D., senior vice president of science at Western Growers
  • Joe Reardon, senior director of food safety programs, NASDA
  • Brian Ronholm, director of food policy, Consumer Reports
  • Kelly Stevens, director, global food safety and regulatory compliance, General Mills
  • Roberta Wagner, senior vice president of regulatory and scientific affairs, International Dairy Foods Association
