据美国食品药品管理局（FDA）消息，7月23日美国FDA发布第三方审核/认证机构进行食品安全审核认证的拟议条例及指南草案，帮助符合条件的国外单位证明进口食品符合美国食品安全要求。
新条例当中的第三方审核与认证适用于当美国进口商通过自愿合格进口程序（VQIP）申请加快对海外食品企业审核，同时也适用于当进口食品存在部分食品安全风险时，美国FDA要求作为入境条件。该拟议条例及指南草案在美国公报上公布，将有75天的公众征求意见时间。
部分原文报道如下：
The FDA has published a proposed rule and a draft guidance document to support a new program under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act （FSMA） that will help eligible foreign entities demonstrate that imported food meets U.S. food safety requirements. Audits and certifications for eligible foreign entities under this program will be used by importers applying for expedited review through the Voluntary Qualified importer Program （VQIP）， and may also be required by FDA as a condition of granting imported food admission into the United States when certain food safety risks have been identified.
