Summary

GAO reviewed the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) new rule on prior notice of imported food. GAO found that (1) the rule would require submission to the FDA of prior notice of food, including animal feed, that is imported or offered for import into the United States, and implement the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002; and (2) the FDA complied with the applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.
