SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background In April 2019, we announced the New Era of Smarter Food Safety initiative and in July 2020, we released the New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint see https www.fda.gov/food/new-erasmarter-food-safety/new-era-smarterfood-safety-blueprint Blueprint. The Blueprint outlines the effort to modernize approaches to food safety as we respond to unique demands on our food system and work to ensure the safety and security of our food supply.
This virtual public meeting Summit will focus on Core Element 3.1: Ensure Safety of Food Produced or Delivered Using New Business Models.
Specifically, we invite discussion and input on human and animal foods sold through Business to Consumer B2C ecommerce. B2C e-commerce is the manufacturing, packaging, labeling, storage, and delivery of human and animal foods sold directly to consumers, through commercial transactions conducted electronically on the internet.
The Summit is an opportunity for us to share our current understanding of human and animal foods sold through new business models and hear from the public. The Summit will enhance our knowledge of possible food safety risks related to these new business models and help us identify what additional courses of action, if any, are needed to address potential food safety vulnerabilities.
We invite industry, consumers, consumer and public health organizations, academia, Federal, State, local, and tribal governments, foreign governments, and other interested parties to join the discussion and provide their perspectives on these issues.
II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Meeting The Summit will address a variety of topics related to human and animal foods sold through B2C e-commerce, including:
