美国FDA发布《强制性食品召回指南》

　　  据美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）消息，近日美国FDA发布了《强制性食品召回指南》。

 

　　据了解，本次指南包括三大部分：前言，背景和问题与答案。指南的形式为问答模式，对强制性召回条款出现的常见问题以及FDA目前对其实施的想法提供了答案。

 

　　部分原文报道如下：

 

　　The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to industry and FDA staff on the implementation of the mandatory food recall provisions of section 423 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act （the FD&C Act） [21 U.S.C. § 350l] , which was added by section 206 of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 （FSMA）。 The guidance in this document is in the form of Questions and Answers and provides answers to common questions that might arise about these mandatory recall provisions and FDA's current thinking regarding their implementation.

　　The FDA's guidance documents, including this guidance, do not establish legally enforceable responsibilities. Instead, guidances describe the Agency's current thinking on a topic and should be viewed only as recommendations, unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. The use of the word should in Agency guidances means that something is suggested or recommended, but not required.
