Food and Drug Administration Foods Accountability Act
This bill requires the FDA to create and regularly update a strategic plan for its Human Foods Program, focusing on food safety, inspections, workforce planning, and nutrition initiatives. The plan must be submitted to Congress by September 2025 (and every 4 years after), including specific goals like improving food safety oversight, coordinating with state/local agencies, and addressing critical food supply issues. The FDA must also submit biennial progress reports starting in 2027 and the GAO must assess the plan's implementation by 2028. The bill directly affects the FDA’s internal operations and coordination with federal, state, and tribal partners, without changing food safety regulations or directly impacting consumers or businesses.
