Health and Human Services Department, Food and Drug Administration
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing its intention to receive and consider a single source application for award of a cooperative agreement in fiscal year 2013 to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to support global strategies that address food safety and public health. The goal of this collaborative project between FDA and FAO is to contribute to the knowledge base and development of food safety systems globally due to the increasingly diverse and complex food supply. The project is also designed to enhance and broaden FDA's ability to address global food safety and public health issues associated with food as well as provide opportunities to leverage additional resources of other countries. The collaborative project will also support the FDA's implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), including FDA's International Food Safety Capacity Building Plan, which emphasizes the concept of preventing food safety-related problems before they occur and the importance of establishing strong relationships and mutual support among all stakeholders, including multilateral organizations, to improve worldwide food safety. In addition, the collaborative project will support food safety, nutrition, and public health programs that align with FDA's mission.
