July 24/Washington/Food Safety News -- Carlos Alvarez Antolinez, an EU food safety official stationed in Washington D.C., told the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) that the 27 member EU countries he represents has some significant issues with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
Third party auditing, inspections and foreign supply verification procedures top the list of the EU's concerns with the new U.S. law. With governmental authority for a continent of 500 million people speaking 28 languages, the EU is also in a position to stop what it does not like.
