What are the lessons learnt from the pandemic current food systems
Answers
Answer:
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the experts at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have learned valuable lessons that will help shape our work to create a more digital, transparent and safer food system for you and your family.
In the coming weeks, the FDA will be rolling out the blueprint for the New Era of Smarter Food Safety, which lays out how we will use technology and modern approaches over the next decade to strengthen the ways we approach the safety of the nation’s food supply, every day and in times of crisis. The agency has been developing the blueprint over the past year with input from food safety experts within the FDA and stakeholders who include consumers, the food industry, technology firms, federal and state regulatory partners, our regulatory counterparts in other nations and academia. Now, we are also integrating the lessons learned during this pandemic to ensure that our food supply is supported during times of crisis.
“The challenges we’ve faced during the pandemic have made it clear that the goals we set forth in the New Era blueprint are more important now than ever,” says Frank Yiannas, FDA’s Deputy Commissioner for Food Policy and Response. “Some of them, like enhanced traceability, are particularly meaningful in light of recent events."
