The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is considering whether to revise its regulations pertaining to export notification and recordkeeping. FDA has received a petition for reconsideration claiming that the agency lacks legal authority to inspect export records held by food and cosmetic companies. The petition also claimed that the regulations describing the types of records that should be kept to demonstrate that an exported product does not conflict with the foreign country's laws are overly burdensome. FDA is inviting comment on the issues raised by the petition.
