The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) specified that its most significant requirements for industry — the hazard analysis and preventive controls requirements — were to have come into effect next week. FDA has now confirmed, however, that it will not enforce those requirements until it issues final rules and establishes effective dates for these requirements. The agency will take the same approach to the foreign supplier verification program requirements that were due to come into effect in January of 2013.
