Pharmaceutical Contamination of Food: Ensuring Food Safety and Complying with the Law
OVERVIEW
- What
foods have drugs in them?
- How
do the drugs get there?
- What
impact can these foods have on humans?
- What
impact can a recall of pharmaceutically contaminated foods have on your
business ?
Processors,
packers, distributors and other food supply chain members need to know about
food contamination, which foods are becoming illegal due to newly enacted laws
and potential impact to segments of the consumer population.
Antibiotics,
antimicrobial resistance, antidepressants, allergies, and inappropriately
labeled GMO (biotechnology)
in foods cause interactions between the drug in the food and drugs consumed by
humans. Many of these foods are making recall headlines costing the food supply
chain millions of dollars in lost revenue.
WHY
SHOULD YOU ATTEND
A
basic understanding of pharmaceutically contaminated foods and
the consequences of food contamination is critical to any food safety
program.
With
the Supply Chain Rules issued under FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) preventive controls, food
supply chain members now share liability as a result of their inability to
identify and help control foods deemed to be harmful as a result of
pharmaceutical contamination. Learn where to look to see if your suppliers are
in violation of Food Safety Inspection Service (USDA FSIS) regulations.
States
are establishing laws against the use of drugs in animal feeds regardless of
federal resistance to such laws. Biotechnology companies are creating animal
feeds and crop proteins that are pharmaceuticals, vaccines, or industrial
enzymes for use in biochemical laboratories. The use of many of these drugs are
illegal in some states and other countries.
AREAS
COVERED
This
initial review will help food safety, quality, processor, buyer, compliance and
other food supply chain members to begin to investigate the impact of
pharmaceutical contamination in the foods they purchase, process, import and
sell. We will also cover traceability issues critical to the appropriate
location and identification of pharmaceutically impacted foods in the event of
recalls.
