The answer: more power

Here is where the rubber meets the road on the FDA's Food Protection Plan. Note the provision for third party inspectors, the authority to regulate food security and defense measures and the call for expanded recall authority. One industry leader said the new authority may also help spur the FDA to quicker reaction times in a recall scenario. For example, it has apparently not been uncommon for there to be significant delays in the issuance of a news release of a food recall because of the back and forth process between the FDA and company officials about the wording of news releases alerting the public of a recall.
