The Food and Drug Administration Foods Accountability Act requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop a comprehensive strategic plan for the FDA's Human Foods Program by September 30, 2025, and update it every four years thereafter. The strategic plan must address food safety priorities, food inspection coordination, critical food supply management, nutritional health initiatives, and workforce development across the FDA and its partner agencies at federal, state, local, and tribal levels. The bill also requires the FDA to submit progress reports every two years starting in 2027 to track how well the agency is meeting its stated goals, and mandates that the Government Accountability Office conduct an independent assessment of the plan's implementation by September 30, 2028. This legislation aims to improve accountability and coordination within the FDA's food safety operations by establishing clear goals, measuring progress, and identifying gaps in the agency's capacity to protect public health.
