The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) recently issued a proposed rule entitled “Laboratory Accreditation for Analyses of Foods” (“Proposed Rule”), which was mandated by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The Proposed Rule establishes a new program whereby certain food testing must be performed by laboratories accredited by an FDA-recognized accreditation body. The accredited laboratories would be required to send the results of testing conducted under this rule directly to FDA.
