FDA’s published their plan “Foodborne Outbreak Response Improvement”

The FDA published the Foodborne Outbreak Response Improvement Plan (FORIP). The plan describes an important step that the FDA is taking to enhance outbreak investigations' speed, effectiveness, coordination, and communication. The plan is intended to complement two of the blueprint's Core Elements: "Tech-Enabled Traceability" and "Smarter Tools and Approaches for Prevention and Outbreak Response." The document examined the FDA's roles and responsibilities, processes, priorities, decision trees, and procedures for foodborne outbreak response in three specific areas:  product tracing, root cause investigations, and the use of CORE data. The plan's goal is to respond more quickly and more efficiently to foodborne outbreaks and reduce the number of foodborne outbreaks that go unsolved in the future. The FDA is committed to streamlining and expediting our outbreak response, leveraging digital data, using more sophisticated analytical methods, working hand-in-hand with our government, industry, and consumer partners to learn from past outbreaks, and communicating necessary information, in a timely and effective manner, to help prevent future outbreaks. @
