Food manufacturing safety regulationsEvery manufacturing business has to follow rules and regulations so that safety and health are considered. The regulations that are set forth for the manufacturing industry are done so by over sixty different federal government agencies. These agencies not only create the regulations that the manufacturing businesses have to follow, but they are also responsible for enforcing the regulations. If a manufacturing company is caught not following regulations they will be sanctioned or fined depending on the violation.
Food manufacturing businesses are not any different; they are governed by various federal agencies. The main agency that creates and enforces the regulations for the food manufacturing industry is the Food and Drug Administration. Just recently there have been some new changes made to the regulations for food manufacturing. These new regulations were put into place because of the recent outbreaks of salmonella and E. coli. The Food and Drug Administration enacted new safety standards in hopes that they would be able to reduce the number of outbreaks that have been found in the United States by making certain foods safer to eat. Here is a closer look at the new regulations that have been put into place by the Food and Drug Administration to help reduce these outbreaks and prevent future ones from happening.
Within the food manufacturing business the Food and Drug Administration inspects most of the foods, with the exception of meat, poultry and eggs. The Food and Drug Administration shares the responsibility of inspecting eggs with the Agricultural Department, which also is in charge of inspecting meat and poultry. Even with the Food and Drug Administration and the Agriculture Department involved there are still another fifteen government agencies that are a part of the food safety system. All of these agencies must work together in order to ensure that our food is safe to eat.
