The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) final rule on Laboratory Accreditation for Analyses of Foods (LAAF)

What is the Food Safety Modernization ACT (FSMA)?

The FSMA is U.S. legislation that was signed into law in January 2011, giving the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) broader authority to regulate how the country's food supply is grown, harvested, and processed. The FSMA gives the FDA additional powers towards the prevention of food-borne risks, the inspection of food-related facilities, the enforcement of compliance controls and violations, the response to food supply threats, and the imposition of stricter controls on imported goods. The FSMA was largely born out of "high-profile outbreaks related to various foods" in the 2000s[1] and recognition that "a breakdown at any point on the farm-to-table spectrum can cause catastrophic harm to the health of consumers and great disruption and economic loss to the food industry."[2]

What is the Laboratory Accreditation for Analyses of Foods (LAAF) rule?

The LAAF rule is an amendment to the FSMA, as originally required by FSMA's Section 202 (a)[3], that mandates laboratory "testing of food in certain circumstances" be performed by specially accredited laboratories[4], as part of the overarching goals of the FSMA.
