FDA-TRACK: Preventive Controls and Current Good Manufacturing Practice Measures

Subscribe to FDA-TRACK Updates

The Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA) is transforming the nation’s food safety system by shifting the focus from responding to foodborne illness to preventing it. Congress enacted FSMA in response to dramatic changes in the global food system and in our understanding of foodborne illness and its consequences, including the realization that foodborne illness is both a significant public health problem and a threat to the economic well-being of the food system.

This set of measures focuses on the FSMA rules entitled “Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food” (PC Human Food Regulation) and “Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Food for Animals” (PC Animal Food Regulation). The first compliance dates for these rules arrived in September 2016 for the largest businesses.


Outcome: Reduced Risk of Illness Attributed to Food From Facilities Subject to the Preventive Controls Regulations

FDA is collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish methods to estimate the impact of the Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation (CGMP & PCHF regulation) on foodborne illness in the United States.  FDA and CDC continue to develop metrics for this outcome and will report measures once finalized.

Outcome: Increased Compliance by Industry with Preventive Controls Regulation Requirements

Outcome: More Rapid and Effective Recall Actions by Facilities Subject to the Preventive Controls Regulation
