The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 mandates the creation of a food safety system in which the focus is on preventing contamination rather than primarily reacting to problems after they occur. The FSMA rules include those that require preventive controls for food facilities that manufacture/process, pack, and hold human and animal foods, and establish science-based standards for produce grown on farms. 

These standards apply to local nourishment makers and those in different nations who fare to the United States.
