据美国食品药品管理局(FDA)消息,5月6日美国FDA发布了进口水产品安全性报告。其中涉及的水产品质量监管措施包括:国内外水产品企业检查、进口水产品口岸抽查、国内市场进口水产品抽查、进口水产商检查、以及国外水产品保障体系评价措施。
美国FDA对水产品采取强制性安全方案,方案的核心是水产品HACCP指南。报告称,美国FDA还使用分子生物学技术应对水产品掺假问题,即使用最新的DNA测序手段对水产品类别进行真伪识别。

The Agency has a variety of tools to ensure compliance with seafood safety requirements, including inspections of domestic and foreign processing facilities, examination and sampling of domestic seafood and seafood offered for import into the United States, domestic surveillance sampling of imported products, inspections of seafood importers, evaluations of filers of seafood products offered for import, and foreign country program assessments. FDA works closely with our foreign, Federal, state, local, and Tribal partners to share relevant information and ensure that products in U.S. commerce meet applicable FDA requirements.
