The title should be Food Safety Enhancements Needed By 2025. The article discusses food safety issues and proposes five measures that could help address them by 2025. However, since this is just a proposal, it does not provide specific information about any of these measures beyond their general description.

5 Ways To Enhance Food Safety in 2025

Food safety is a critical issue that affects millions of people worldwide. In the United States alone, foodborne illnesses result in an estimated 3 million cases of illness and 48,000 hospitalizations annually. The impact on public health, agriculture, and economy makes it necessary to enhance food safety measures constantly.

FDA employees must be part of this process by proposing effective strategies that improve food quality and safety for the near future. Here are five ideas to consider

1. Develop a comprehensive food safety plan FDA should work with stakeholders across the sector to create a strategy focused on preventing contamination at all stages, from farm to fork. This should include standardized protocols, training programs, monitoring systems, risk assessments, and traceability measures.

2. Increase inspection frequency The agency must inspect more facilities regularly than ever before. By conducting inspections proactively rather than reactively, FDA can catch potential hazards before they cause harm. Random audits on high-risk businesses are also recommended.

3. Use technology wisely Implementing new technologies like blockchain could help track contaminated products rapidly and notify relevant parties immediately. Investing in modernizing labs with advanced equipment for faster testing will be valuable too.

4. Improve labeling regulations The current guidelines should include detailed information about allergens, ingredients, nutrition facts, storage instructions, etc., so consumers can make healthy choices accordingly. Additionally, enforcing stricter penalties against companies violating these rules will encourage compliance.

5. Foster collaboration FDA must collaborate closely with industry leaders, scientists from academia, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and international partners to share knowledge effectively. Working together allows everyone involved in the supply chain to contribute ideas for continuous improvement.
