Answer 1

Answer:

Animals are a part of many agricultural systems.  Domesticated animals such as livestock play a critical role in diversified farming systems, both because they or their products become food and because they cycle nutrients through the farm.  Wild animals can help to manage pest populations and contribute to biodiversity.  While there is still only limited scientific understanding of the role that animals play in contaminating produce and limited evidence of animals causing food safety outbreaks, a few recent outbreaks have identified animals one of the possible sources of contamination.

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop regulations aimed at improving the safety of produce.  Because animals have been considered a possible source of contamination in food safety outbreaks involving produce, Congress required FDA to include standards for “animals in the growing area” when developing new regulations.  In the proposed Produce Rule, FDA has developed standards directed to domesticated and wild animals.
