Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to assess food products imported into the United States from foreign facilities. The assessment would look at public health risk by country of origin, past safety violations and recalls, the volume of imports, and how U.S. and foreign regulators coordinate on inspections. Within one year, the Secretary must post information on a public HHS website, including findings, FDA targets and actual numbers of foreign food facility inspections, inspection trends by product and country, and whether FDA's risk-based inspections meet the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act. The Secretary must keep this information updated on an ongoing basis.
