The FDA has announced it will hold three public workshops on the Reportable Food Registry established by the FDA's Amendments Act of 2007.

The workshops will explain the purpose of the registry, how it will work, and the responsibilities of persons required to submit a report regarding instances of reportable food to FDA through the Reportable Food electronic portal. In addition, the role of federal, state and local public health officials in voluntarily reporting instances of reportable food to FDA will be discussed.

The workshops will be held July 23 in College Park, Md., August 5 in Chicago, Ill., and August 25 in Oakland, Calif. For more information, please click here or contact Juanita Yates, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, at 301-436-1731.
