The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a significant milestone with the reorganization of its food division, effective October 1. This restructuring includes the creation of a unified Human Foods Program and the adoption of a new model for field operations. The FDA aims to enhance oversight of human food supply chains and modernize its operations. The agency has also committed to reducing food loss and waste by 50% by 2030, in collaboration with the USDA, EPA, and USAID. The reorganization is seen as a crucial step in improving food safety and preventing foodborne illnesses, which have resulted in sickness and death for consumers, according to Senator Durbin.
