Despite the passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), extensive training, testing, and inspectional approaches, food safety remains a significant public health challenge. The frequency of recalls and foodborne outbreaks highlights the need to rethink our approaches to food safety improvements. It’s time to move beyond reactive measures, embrace new approaches and emerging technology, and advance a forward-thinking mindset that prioritizes prevention and collaboration.
