On October 12, 2022, the FDA will air the fourth New Era of Smarter Food Safety TechTalk Podcast, a series that focuses on the development and use of new technologies to accelerate prevention of food safety problems and speed responses to foodborne-illness outbreaks. TechTalk features leaders in FDA, other government agencies, and the private sector who share their unique experiences and insights.

Entitled “Data Exchange in the New Era of Smarter Food Safety,” this fourth podcast will explore the platform created by FDA’s Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) to securely share information between the agency and its regulatory partners at the state and local levels.

Discussion will center on how regulators use the ORA Data Exchange to enhance food safety, including compliance measures and outbreak response, the technology involved in increasing the efficiency of electronic data exchange, how consumers and the food industry benefit, and what’s on the horizon for data sharing in FDA’s New Era of Smarter Food Safety.  

One of the goals of the New Era of Smarter Food Safety blueprint is to enhance the sharing of data in a way that enables FDA and the states to rely on and leverage each other’s work, data and actions.
