The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has shifted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) focus to preventing foodborne illness, to ensure animal food is safe for consumption. 21 CFR Part 507 is one of seven major FDA rules to implement FSMA, which include specific actions that must be taken at each point in the global supply chain to prevent contamination to animal food. The FDA carefully monitors facilities that manufacture, process, pack or hold animal food to ensure safety. The mandated and required regulations include implementing good manufacturing practice (GMP) regulations, a food safety plan, analyzing hazards, establishing a recall plan and implementing risk-based preventive controls.
