食品追蹤追溯與紀錄留存備查
雖然食品追蹤追溯為食品安全監管體系之重要構成要件,
FSMA

FSMA
指示
FDA
應加強監管體系以及考慮建立食品追查系統,追蹤及追溯食物供應
鏈之歷史與產品流向,並進行長期監督,利用更豐富資料來源,有
效執行風險控管及查驗工作。依據
FSMA
的規定,
FDA
應於新法生
效九個月內制定試驗性計畫
(
pilot projects
),研究快速有效辨認食
品業者與食用者的方法,以預防或減輕食物中毒事件、解決食品汙
染或攙假所帶來之嚴重健康影響。

具體而言,
FDA
應確保此等試
驗性計畫可反映食品供應之多樣性,並包含至少三種前五年間引發
重大食安事件之食品,以發展迅速有效之食品追蹤追溯方法
(
methods for rapid and effective tracking and tracing of foods
),以及
有助於加強食品追蹤追溯之科技。

此外,
FDA
