/>i- On May 13, 2026, FDA released two resources to advance the Human Foods Program’s “vision of increased engagement and collaboration with stakeholders to enhance food safety.”
- The “Food Safety Best Practices for Human Foods” webpage is intended to highlight how FDA can work with industry to develop and implement best practices. The website explains what best practices are, why they are important, and how FDA can assist. In addition, the webpage includes links to examples of working groups and organizations in which FDA has worked to support development of best practices.
- The “Strengthening Food Safety through Root Cause Analysis” webpage is intended to “strengthen understanding of food safety issues and prevent recurrence.” The webpage explains what a root cause analysis is and why it is important, as well as general best practices for a root cause analysis in the food industry. The webpage also provides examples of FDA’s activities to strengthen root cause analysis processes.
- An additional FDA development is that Donald Prater, D.V.M., has been selected as the Acting Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods. He will replace Kyle Diamantas, who will be serving as Acting FDA Commissioner, as we previously blogged.
