美国食品和药物管理局已经公布its Foodborne Outbreak Response Improvement Plan, which is designed to help the FDA and its partners enhance the speed, effectiveness, coordination and communication of foodborne outbreak investigations.

The plan focuses on four specific priority areas:

  • 支持技术的产品追溯 - 启动更智能的方法来数字化和常规接收简化追溯过程所需的信息,这是FDA在调查过程中使用污染食品来源的步骤。这些策略包括获得更完整的自愿提供的消费者购买数据,以更好地指定关键的追溯信息,促进和加快FDA如何接收数据,并采用更高级的分析方法和计算方法。
  • 根本原因调查(RCIS) - 系统化,加快和共享FDA RCIS。该计划的重点是适应和加强协议和程序,以及时进行食源性疾病暴发的RCI,标准化生产FDA RCI报告的标准,并加快向行业和公众发布调查结果的加快。
  • Strengthen analysis and dissemination of outbreak data–Working with the CDC, the USDA’s FSIS, and other partners to identify reoccurring, emerging, and persistent strains of pathogens. Specifically, the FDA will facilitate improvements to sharing of data with the CDC as well as other regulatory partners to further increase transparency of outbreak investigations, increase public confidence in results, and facilitate improved collaboration on investigation activities.
  • Operational improvements–Building on performance measures across the FDA’s foods program to better evaluate the timeliness and effectiveness of outbreak and regulatory investigation activities. The FDA is committed to using performance and outcome measures to assess progress of this improvement plan by updating stakeholders, posting updates on FDA.gov and through a public webinar in early 2022 to discuss how regulatory partners, industry, and others can work together to achieve these goals.
