FOODS

11001

Complete first action on 50% of food and color additive petitions within 360 days of receipt.

Unchanged

 

 

11003

Complete processing of 80% of GRAS notifications within the time frame established by the final rule.

Unchanged

 

 

11007

Increase to at least 55% the proportion of adults who report changing their decision to buy or use a food product because they read the food label.

Dropped

 

This goal was dropped in FY99 due to lack of resources. It was in the table of the FY01 CJ mistakenly. The context of goal section in the 01 CJ stated that this goal was discontinued after FY 99.

11010

Achieve adoption of the Food Code by at least 25 states in the USA.

Revised

Achieve adoption of the Food Code by at least one state agency in 25 states in the USA.

The goal language has been changed from "at least 25 states" to "at least one agency in 25 states" to reflect the fact that state agencies are not the only agencies that can adopt the Food Code, but Federal, tribal, and local as well.

11011

Assure that FDA inspections of domestic food establishments (including domestic seafood establishments), in conjunction with the timely correction of serious deficiencies identified in these inspections, result in a high rate of conformance 90% - 100% with FDA requirements.

Unchanged

Assure that FDA inspections of domestic food establishments (including domestic seafood establishments), in conjunction with the timely correction of serious deficiencies identified in these inspections, result in a high rate of conformance to at least 90%.

Made the target more specific based on OMB recommendation.

11020

Increase the percentage of high-risk domestic food establishment inspections to 90 ‚ 100 % once every year.

Revised

Increase the percentage of high-risk domestic food establishment inspections to at least 90% once every year.

Made the target more specific based on OMB recommendation.

11021.02

Increase the number of import exams of high-risk food products to 66,700.

Revised

Increase the number of import exams of food products to 60,000.

The phrase "high-risk" was taken out because imports are not technically tracked by high or low risk. The previous target of 66,700 was too high based on the issuance of the final field plan, planned figures. Therefore, the target was changed to 60,000.

11025

Respond to 90% of notifications for dietary supplements containing "new ingredients" within 75 days.

Unchanged

 

 

11027

Expand monitoring for pesticides and environmental contaminants in foods through the collection and analysis of a targeted cohort of 11,000 samples.

Expand monitoring for pesticides and environmental contaminants in foods through the collection and analysis of a targeted cohort of 8000+ samples.

The number was lowered due to reexamination of previous data. This goal was originally set too high. In FY99, FDA analyzed 9400 samples and is setting the goal to 8000+ for 2001 and beyond.

11028

Increase the number of audits and assessments to 10 of foreign food safety systems, with an emphasis on high volume exporters to the U.S. to ensure a level of food safety protection comparable to domestically produced foods.
